A well-furnished terrace attracts guests and makes your venue visible from the street. Leta Meubelen supplies terrace furniture for restaurants, cafés, bars and hotels: terrace chairs, outdoor lounge chairs and terrace benches, made for commercial use in the open air.
Choose according to the type of terrace: dining calls for chairs at table height, lounging for low seating with cushions. Also consider material, maintenance and shelter. Dimensions, colours and materials are tailored to your venue.
Terrace furniture for the hospitality sector comprises chairs, benches, lounge furniture and tables for commercial outdoor use. The right combination depends on what guests do on your terrace: lunch and dinner, a drink in the sun or lingering at the table under a canopy.
A dining terrace calls for chairs and tables at standard height. A lounge terrace is all about lower, deeper seating. Many venues combine both: a dining zone close to the building and a lounge zone at the edge of the terrace.
When planning the layout, also think about your staff: the distance from the kitchen or bar to the furthest table determines how smoothly service runs, especially on a busy summer’s day.
Leta’s outdoor hospitality furniture consists of three groups. Terrace chairs form the basis of every dining terrace. Outdoor lounge chairs create a relaxed atmosphere. Terrace benches provide plenty of seating along a façade, railing or planter.
For the tables, take a look at our solid-core compact laminate tables, which are used both indoors and on the terrace. That way, you coordinate tables and seating in one go.
Outdoor furniture for the hospitality sector has to contend with sun, rain, wind and changes in temperature. So for each model, check which conditions it is intended for and how to maintain it.
The collection features a lot of rope and wicker, as on OVINO F ROPE and TOLEN WICKER, alongside versions in wood and metal. Rope and wicker lend a soft, summery look; wood feels warm and natural; metal looks sleek and light.
Cushions and seat pads make terrace furniture more comfortable, but they also need a dry place for storage. Factor that into your planning.
Use this checklist before you furnish your terrace:
Once these points are clear, choosing between chairs, lounge furniture and benches is quickly done.
Guests often see the terrace before the interior. By carrying colours, materials or shapes through from inside to outside, your venue becomes instantly recognisable. A wooden backrest indoors, for example, can be echoed in a terrace bench with wooden details.
Take a look at our terrace projects for examples of outdoor spaces. Terrace furniture for hospitality never stands apart from the rest: it is an extension of your concept. Having your hospitality terrace furniture made to measure lets you define that cohesion down to the last detail.
Every type of venue places different demands on its terrace. A restaurant benefits from comfortable chairs with good back support, as guests enjoy a full meal there. A café is all about flexibility: chairs and benches that you can quickly rearrange for a group or a quiet weekday afternoon.
Hotels often have several outdoor zones, such as a breakfast terrace, a lounge area by the bar and a quiet corner for business guests. Choose a different type of furniture for each zone, but keep colours and materials consistent. That way, the whole remains recognisable as one hotel.
Leta Meubelen makes terrace furniture to measure in its own 60,000 m² production facility. You choose the dimensions, colours, materials and finish, and every piece is inspected before it leaves the factory. The lead time is 10–12 weeks once the design is clear, so plan your order well ahead of the terrace season.
At the showroom in Eindhoven you can view models and materials by appointment. You can also browse our completed projects, such as COMER DREEFZICHT in Haarlem, or get in touch for advice on your terrace.
That depends on how the terrace is used. For dining you need terrace chairs and tables at standard height; for lounging, lounge chairs and low tables. Terrace benches are handy along a façade or railing to create extra seating.
Outdoor hospitality furniture is made for commercial use: being moved around daily, many guests and a whole season outdoors. It also has to match the look of the venue. Garden furniture for the home is usually not designed for that level of intensity.
Order in good time. At Leta Meubelen, the lead time is 10–12 weeks once the design is clear. Also allow time for choosing models and materials, so start a few months before your intended opening date.
That depends on the location and the look you want. Rope and wicker create a soft, summery feel, wood looks warm and metal sleek. For each model, ask which version is intended for outdoor use and what maintenance it requires.
Divide the terrace into zones. Place chairs and tables for dining close to the entrance and the kitchen, and create a lounge zone with lounge chairs and benches at the edge or under an awning. Keep a clear walkway between the zones.
Yes. Leta makes terrace furniture to measure in dimensions, colours, materials and finish. You have one dedicated contact person and can view models by appointment in the Eindhoven showroom. The lead time is 10–12 weeks.
