With the arrival of fine weather, restaurant terraces become real assets for attracting and retaining customers. More than just an outdoor space, they represent a place for conviviality and relaxation, where the choice of furniture plays a key role in the customer experience.

Whether you’re a restaurateur, hotel manager or cafe owner, discover our practical tips for transforming your terrace into a signature space your customers love to come back to!
With the arrival of summer, it’s essential to prepare your outdoor space to welcome customers in the best possible conditions. Whether you want to furnish the terrace of your restaurant, optimize the patio of your café or enhance the poolside of your hotel, we give you all the advice you need to choose outdoor furniture that’s hard-wearing, easy to maintain and practical to store.
Simple, effective tips for attracting customers all season long.
To ensure the longevity of your restaurant’s patio furniture, choose furniture specially designed for outdoor use. Choose water-repellent, UV-resistant acrylic fabrics for parasols and seats. Washable and stain-resistant, these fabrics won’t fade in the sun.
During the season, clean your patio chairs and tables regularly with mild, non-detergent products to prevent abrasion and preserve their shine.
Finally, use protective covers to reduce dirt build-up and optimize weather resistance.
Optimize the layout of your restaurant terrace! Stacking chairs and folding tables are ideal for saving space and tidying up at the end of service. Thanks to their ingenious design, you can easily adapt the space to suit the number of customers.
On the lighting side, cordless rechargeable lamps and their recharging carts make for easy day-to-day use, with their compact design and long autonomy.
Providing shading solutions for your restaurant terrace is essential for keeping your customers cool and comfortable. By protecting your outdoor spaces from UV rays, you not only ensure the longevity of your furniture, but also attract customers looking for relaxation, even on the hottest days. Quality, wind-resistant parasols and shade sails help maintain a pleasant temperature all day long. A simple solution for boosting traffic on your restaurant terrace.

The New Cottage style is making a comeback on the terraces of CHR establishments, bringing a warm, refined atmosphere inspired by English homes. This neo-cottage style subtly blends materials, patterns and objects to create a real cocoon where your customers feel right at home.
To create a terrace in this unique spirit, opt for a solid wood terrace table, a true centerpiece that embodies authenticity and sturdiness. Combine it with rattan or wooden terrace chairs for a harmonious, refined effect. The mix of materials is key: don’t hesitate to combine wood, weathered metal and fabrics with floral or striped patterns to reinforce the cottage spirit.
Finally, accumulate small decorative objects, such as lanterns, vintage vases and potted plants, to give your restaurant’s terrace a cabinet-of-curiosities feel that will delight your customers!

How about a splash of color on your restaurant terrace?
Inspired by the vintage codes of ’50s Miami, it revisits bright colors and adds a touch of softness with a hint of white. The result is a light, spring-like ambience that instantly appeals to customers.
To create this unique atmosphere, choose colorful metal outdoor furniture. Powder pink, mint green, sky blue or lavender, our collections come in a wide range of colors. An effective way to stand out from the competition.
Decorative accessories also play an essential role. Place soft cushions in geometric or floral patterns in the same shades on outdoor armchairs, and rechargeable cordless lamps on patio tables.
A colorful, elegant and sparkling terrace that’s sure to make a lasting impression!

Riviera style is a must for chic, sunny restaurant terraces. Inspired by the emblematic beaches of the Ligurian coast in the 50s and 60s, it evokes the dolce vita with elegance and refinement. This style seduces with its retro-chic spirit and summery ambience, ideal for CHR establishments.
Stripes are the signature of Riviera style: marinière or bayadère, they can be found on deckchairs, cushions and even tablecloths. To sublimate your restaurant terrace, opt for white or black lacquered wrought-iron terrace tables with sinuous lines, reminiscent of elegant Mediterranean gardens. Matching terrace chairs, comfortable and sturdy, complete this harmonious ensemble.
To accentuate the seaside atmosphere, choose textiles and accessories in shades of azure blue.
Finally, don’t forget fringed parasols, perfect for protecting your customers while adding an irresistible retro touch.

The Quiet Luxury style relies on noble materials and natural hues to create a harmonious, sophisticated décor and appeal to customers looking for discreet sophistication.
At the heart of this aesthetic, the color of the year, Mocha Mousse, is the undisputed star. This rich, comforting brown invites itself onto terrace tables, seats and decorative elements. Available in shades of brown, this nuance creates an elegant space that blends naturally into the outdoor environment.
To create a successful restaurant terrace in this spirit, choose solid wood outdoor furniture with meticulous finishes and natural fiber textiles such as linen cushions.
The aim is to create a space where luxury can be experienced discreetly, without ostentation. The organic color palette, natural materials and minimalist shapes invite you to relax, while enhancing the timeless aesthetics of your terrace.
