By 2025, eco-responsibility is no longer optional: it's a key differentiator and draws customers closer to the city for hotels, cafes, and restaurants. Both travelers and regulars expect places where comfort, aesthetics, and respect for the environment go hand in hand. Outdoor furniture, the true visual signature of terraces and patios, is therefore becoming a strategic element.
At Grosfillex Expert, we support hospitality professionals in this transition, by designing collections capable of combining contemporary design, technical performance and a controlled environmental footprint.
Why choose durable outdoor furniture?
Furniture designed to last is not just about extending its lifespan : it embodies the establishment's commitment to responsible practices.
By investing in outdoor tables, chairs and armchairs that are resistant to UV rays, temperature variations and shocks, restaurant and hotel owners reduce the replacement cycle, thus limiting waste production and the carbon impact linked to transport and manufacturing.
The economic aspect is also significant: a professional-grade product retains its aesthetic appeal and performance longer, thus reducing maintenance and replacement costs. For establishments subject to intense seasons, such as seaside or mountain terraces, this reliability is a major advantage.
Finally, adopting sustainable furniture meets consumer expectations: according to several studies conducted in Europe, more than 60% of customers say they prefer establishments that highlight their environmental initiatives . It is therefore an investment that also enhances the brand's image and reputation.
The most suitable eco-friendly materials
The choice of materials is crucial for balancing robustness, design, and environmental impact. Hospitality professionals now have access to high-performance and innovative options:
- High-performance resin : lightweight, UV and impact resistant, it stands out for its easy maintenance and exceptional durability. Thanks to the processing technologies developed by Grosfillex Expert, the resin replicates the look of concrete or metal, while retaining the technical advantages of a composite material.
- Recycled resin : derived from the reuse of production scraps or post-consumer plastic waste, it contributes to the circular economy and reduces the consumption of virgin resources.
- Aluminium : prized for its lightness and longevity, it is infinitely recyclable without loss of mechanical properties.
- Composite combinations : some products combine aluminium and resin to optimize structural resistance and user comfort, while maintaining a low environmental impact.
These materials allow establishments to create elegant, modular and easy-to-maintain outdoor spaces , while respecting European standards for safety and environmental impact.
The advantages for hospitality professionals
Adopting eco-friendly outdoor furniture is not just an ecological choice: it is also a business lever.
- Enhancing brand image : a terrace adorned with aesthetically pleasing and durable materials reflects an establishment committed to quality and ethical practices. This consistency attracts customers and fosters loyalty.
- Reducing costs in the long term : fewer replacements, fewer maintenance interventions, therefore a better controlled budget.
- Simplify maintenance : resin and aluminum are resistant to stains, moisture and UV rays; a simple cleaning with soapy water is often enough to maintain their shine.
- Ensuring compliance : adherence to European safety and durability standards avoids regulatory setbacks or additional costs related to early repairs.
These combined advantages contribute to improving the customer experience : comfortable, aesthetically pleasing and well-maintained furniture creates an environment conducive to relaxation and conviviality, essential values in the hotel and restaurant industry.
Examples of successful integration in hotels and restaurants
More and more establishments are relying on eco-friendly outdoor furniture to assert their identity and enrich the customer experience.
- Upscale urban terraces : boutique hotels have opted for resin chairs and recycled aluminum tables to combine authenticity and modernity. The result: a welcoming terrace with a warm design, free from the maintenance requirements of natural wood.
- Seaside restaurants : faced with salt and humidity, several establishments have adopted lounge chairs made of UV and corrosion resistant composite resin , guaranteeing impeccable durability despite demanding conditions.
- Outdoor spaces of mountain hotels : the combination of aluminium bases and HPL imitation wood or concrete panels has made it possible to create refined atmospheres while withstanding temperature variations and seasonal snowfall.
These examples illustrate how a thoughtful choice of materials and design can transform an outdoor space into a true visual signature, while also being part of a sustainable approach.
In conclusion
By 2025, outdoor furniture will no longer be simply functional equipment: it will become a vehicle for environmental commitment and brand identity for all hotels, restaurants, bars, and water parks. By favoring materials such as high-performance composite resin, recycled resin, or aluminum, hospitality professionals are investing in solutions that combine aesthetics , robustness , and responsibility .
With Grosfillex Expert, you're choosing outdoor furniture designed to last and enhance your spaces. Opting for eco-friendly furniture means preparing for the future: a future of more environmentally conscious hospitality that adds value to your establishment.
