Terrace benches offer plenty of seating in little space and instantly give a terrace structure. Leta Meubelen makes hospitality terrace benches in single and double versions, as corner benches or as free-standing benches, for restaurants, cafés, bars and hotels.
First decide on the position: along the façade, against a planter or railing, or free-standing as a room divider. Then choose material, colour, cushions and finish. Length, shape and version are tailored to your terrace.
Terrace benches are outdoor benches for two or more people that stand along a façade, railing or planter, or are placed freely on the terrace. They make use of edges and corners that often stay empty with individual chairs, and they give the terrace a clear line.
A hospitality terrace bench has another advantage: guests can easily shuffle up to make room for others. That makes benches ideal for groups, for after-work drinks and for families on a sunny afternoon.
What’s more, a continuous line of seating brings calm to the streetscape, which is especially noticeable on a busy square or a narrow pavement.
The collection includes models in various sizes. Versions with SINGLE in the name fit at a small table or in a narrow corner. Double benches, such as TELLO ROPE / DOUBLE, seat two guests side by side. A corner model such as REINA CORNER fills a corner of the terrace and forms the basis of a group seating area.
For a lounge feel, choose a lower bench with cushions; for dining, a bench at table height. SALERNO / CANE SINGLE shows how cane gives a bench a light, natural look.
When choosing the size, take into account the varying group sizes on your terrace. A mix of single and double benches offers the most flexibility, while a corner bench pays off mainly in a spot where groups often sit.
An outdoor bench for hospitality use faces sun, rain and wind all season long. So check for each model which materials and finishes are intended for outdoor use and what maintenance they require.
Rope, cane and wicker give a soft, summery look, while wood adds warmth. Loose cushions make a terrace bench more comfortable; agree with your team when they are taken inside. The simpler the maintenance, the better kept your terrace stays.
The strongest terrace layout combines benches along the edge with individual chairs on the open side of the table. Guests then sit with their backs to the façade and the walkway stays clear. For the opposite side of the table, choose from our terrace chairs.
For the tables themselves, compact laminate tables are an option used both indoors and on the terrace. Would you like your terrace and interior to match? Then choose indoor hospitality benches in a similar shape or fabric.
