The AZ Jan Palfijn hospital in Ghent was completely renovated a few years ago. The kitchen and staff restaurant were also given a facelift. An outdoor dining area was a must. The terrace is decorated with various Hopper picnic tables with matching canopies and round Pantagruels with Inumbrina umbrellas. The galvanized legs of the tables blend in perfectly with the aluminum cladding and windows, while the wood adds warmth and amenity to the outdoor space.
