Annecy is the more premium option, with higher backs and reclining armchairs.
Which is more comfortable?
That depends on how you like to sit. Annecy's 97cm high back supports your head and shoulders, and the reclining armchairs let you lean back for reading or an afternoon nap. Bruges has a high-back design too, at 84cm, with thick cushions. The best way to decide is to sit on both at one of our showrooms.
Which looks better on a Spanish terrace?
- Annecy's Titanium Grey suits modern villas, grey or dark tiles, black window frames and contemporary architecture.
- Bruges' Ivory suits whitewashed walls, terracotta, pale stone and classic Mediterranean homes, and makes small terraces feel lighter.
- Both pair the frame colour with warm teak arms, which softens the look.

| Piece | Annecy (L × W × H) | Bruges (L × W × H) |

| 3-seat sofa | 192 × 85 × 97cm | 196 × 83 × 84cm |
| Armchair | 72 × 85 × 97cm | 77 × 83 × 84cm |

| Coffee table | 113 × 62 × 38cm | 116 × 60 × 38cm |
The footprints are very similar, so the choice usually comes down to style and seating, not space.
Which should you choose?
Choose Annecy if:
- You want reclining armchairs and a high back.
- Your terrace has a modern, grey or dark colour scheme.
- You only need a lounge set.
Choose Bruges if:
- You want a lighter Ivory look.
- You'd like a lower price or a 2-seat set.
- You want matching dining sets and sun loungers too.
How do you look after aluminium and teak furniture?
Wash frames with mild soapy water and dry them; clean the teak arms gently with the grain. Untreated teak naturally weathers to a silvery grey, which is cosmetic. Wash cushion covers at 30°C, dry them fully, and use the weather cover during wet or windy spells.
