In 2023, Howvin began an outdoor furniture procurement project for Lujo Hotel Bodrum in Türkiye. The order brought together beach loungers, motorized aluminum poolside pergolas, commercial cantilever umbrellas, outdoor dining table and chair sets, outdoor sofa sets, and additional outdoor furniture items.
Almost all products in the procurement scope were customized. Rather than a single furniture purchase, the project involved several categories serving different outdoor activities-from reclining beside the water to dining, gathering, and spending time in shaded spaces.
Communication and order confirmation took approximately one month. Around two months after order confirmation, production had been completed and receipt of the products was confirmed.

The Setting: Outdoor Hospitality in Bodrum
Lujo Hotel Bodrum is located on Güvercinlik Bay, where beach and pool environments form a prominent part of the hotel experience. Its outdoor spaces accommodate different activities, from relaxing beside the water to spending time in shared leisure areas. The hotel's official information describes its beach settings, cabanas, pools, and terraces with direct pool access.
This variety gives outdoor furniture several distinct roles. A beach lounger provides an individual reclining place; a dining set supports meals and conversation; a sofa creates a shared seating arrangement. Pergolas and cantilever umbrellas introduce different forms of shade.
The Howvin procurement scope reflected this range of functions, combining furniture and shade products within one hospitality project.
A Project Defined by Extensive Customization
The defining feature of the project was the extent of customization. Almost all products were customized, making the procurement broader than the selection of a few standard catalogue items.
A multi-category custom order requires attention to the individual products as well as the overall package. Dining tables and chairs need to work as a combination. Sofa sets need to be considered as complete seating arrangements. Motorized pergolas introduce structural and operating details beyond those of movable furniture.
For this reason, customization should be understood at product level. Different categories have different specifications, even when they belong to the same hotel project.
The approximately one-month communication and confirmation period was therefore a significant part of the project timeline. It preceded production and established the confirmed order covering the furniture and shade categories.
Outdoor Furniture and Shade Products Supplied
Beach Loungers
Beach loungers were included in the procurement scope for the hotel's beach setting. This category provides individual reclining places beside the water and contributes to the arrangement of a beach furniture scheme.
Within the Lujo Hotel Bodrum project, loungers formed one part of a much wider custom order. Their inclusion connected the beach furniture requirement with the project's other seating, dining, and shade categories.
Motorized Aluminum Poolside Pergolas
The order included motorized aluminum poolside pergolas, adding an electrically operated shade-structure category to the furniture package.
The pergola component extended the scope beyond seating and tables. Together with the cantilever umbrellas, it represented the shade-related part of a procurement package covering several outdoor functions.
For buyers considering a comparable configuration, the selected pergola's dimensions, operation, site requirements, and installation responsibilities should be established for their own project.
Commercial Cantilever Umbrellas
Commercial cantilever umbrellas were another part of the order. Their offset-support layout offers a different shade arrangement from a centrally supported umbrella.
Including both pergolas and umbrellas brought two distinct shade-product categories into the project. Each has its own configuration and application requirements, allowing shade procurement to be considered alongside the furniture rather than as an unrelated purchase.
Outdoor Dining Table and Chair Sets
Outdoor dining table and chair sets extended the supply scope beyond reclining and lounge seating.
Dining furniture needs to function as a combination: the relationship between the table and chairs matters as much as the appearance of each individual piece. This category introduced the outdoor dining function alongside the relaxation and shade components of the order.
For hospitality buyers reviewing the case, this breadth is an important distinction. The project covered several types of outdoor furniture rather than one isolated product category.
Outdoor Sofa Sets
Outdoor sofa sets completed the main product categories identified for the project. They provide a shared seating format for conversation and relaxation, complementing individual loungers and dining chairs.
Together, the sofa sets, dining sets, loungers, pergolas, and umbrellas formed a procurement scope spanning seating, dining, reclining, and shade. Almost all products within that scope were customized.
Project Timeline: From Communication to Confirmed Receipt
Stage 1 - Procurement Began in 2023
The project began with procurement discussions in 2023. Its scope included multiple outdoor furniture categories, with customization extending across almost the entire order.
This combination of product variety and customization is central to understanding the project.
Stage 2 - Approximately One Month to Confirm the Order
The period from communication to order confirmation took approximately one month.
For buyers planning similar work, this stage deserves its own place in the schedule. Custom furniture procurement includes time to reach an agreed order before the subsequent production and delivery stages begin.
Stage 3 - Production Completed and Receipt Confirmed
Around two months after order confirmation, production had been completed and receipt of the products was confirmed.
This period describes the progression to confirmed receipt. It should therefore be distinguished from factory production time alone and treated as a timeline specific to this order.
What This Project Demonstrates
The Lujo Hotel Bodrum outdoor furniture project provides a reference for three aspects of Howvin's hospitality supply experience.
A broad procurement scope. The order included beach loungers, motorized aluminum pergolas, cantilever umbrellas, dining sets, and sofa sets.
Extensive customization. Almost all products were customized, making the project relevant to buyers seeking more than standard catalogue selections.
A documented project sequence. Procurement began in 2023, communication and order confirmation took approximately one month, and production completion and confirmed receipt followed approximately two months after order confirmation.
These details help hotel owners, procurement teams, and designers understand the nature of the order. A comparable project would still require its own specifications, quantities, site information, and agreed delivery schedule.
