The patio is for all seasons – SocialBBQ and Terassit.net join forces at Habitare
SocialBBQ Grill Table and Terassit.net are collaborating to create a shared patio space for the Habitare 2026 fair, where Finnish design, craftsmanship, cooking, and socializing come together. In addition to the SocialBBQ Grill Table, the booth will feature Terassit.net’s brand-new premium Hehku summer kitchen. Designed to evoke the atmosphere of an autumn crayfish party, the installation challenges the notion that Finnish patios are meant only for the summer months.
SocialBBQ and Terassit.net share a common vision: a patio can be a year-round part of the home and a place for spending time together.
A well-designed outdoor space adapts to the seasons and invites you to enjoy it even outside of summer. Shelter, lighting, high-quality materials, practical cooking solutions, and the right furniture turn the patio into a space where you can cook, gather, and spend time together well into the late evening.
At the Habitare booth, this idea comes to life as an autumn-themed patio setting. Terassit.net creates the framework for outdoor living, and the SocialBBQ Grill Table brings food, warmth, activities, and people right into the heart of it all.
For us, the patio isn’t just an outdoor space—it’s a place for get-togethers, shared meals, and moments spent together all year round.
This idea fits perfectly with the “Plot Twists” theme of Habitare 2026. What if the patio season didn’t end with summer? What if the dining table wasn’t just a dining table?
The Finnish Grill Table Brings People Together Around the Same Table
The SocialBBQ Grill Table combines a dining table and a grill into a single piece of furniture. The idea is simple: food is prepared right where people are.
Instead of one person from the group standing by the grill while the others sit at the table, everyone can participate in preparing the food while continuing the conversation around the grill table.
Behind the Grill Table, which is handcrafted in Finland, lies an idea that goes beyond the furniture itself—bringing people together.
At SocialBBQ, good design isn’t just about how a product looks. At its best, design influences how a product is used and what happens around it.
The Patio: A True Extension of Your Home
Terassit.net, on the other hand, takes a holistic approach to outdoor spaces. The company designs and builds premium-quality patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and other outdoor spaces on a turnkey basis.
The idea is that a patio isn’t just a decked-out area in the corner of the yard, but rather a part of the home and the life lived there.
At the Habitare fair, Terassit.net will unveil its brand-new, in-house premium Hehku summer kitchen for the first time. This modern design combines a black background, heat-treated wood, and a solid 50-millimeter concrete countertop. Practical features include integrated trash bins and gas line routing built into the structure.
At the booth, you can also check out the Garden Lights patio lighting and Tasaflex adjustable legs, as well as talk with patio designer Ville Antikainen about designing a brand-new patio or giving your existing outdoor space a facelift.
The Crayfish Festival shows what fall patio life can feel like at its best
The joint Habitare booth wasn’t built just to showcase products. SocialBBQ and Terassit.net want to demonstrate in a tangible way what kind of space for socializing and relaxation a patio can become.
The SocialBBQ Grill Table will be set up at the fair for an atmospheric crayfish party. As you look at the table setting, you can get inspired by how the Grill Table fits into the overall design of the patio.
SocialBBQ has also designed a three-course crayfish feast menu to provide culinary inspiration; fairgoers can check it out at the booth and get ideas for their own crayfish parties.
At the booth, you can check out the Grill Table, chat about food, and get new ideas for fall table settings and outdoor gatherings.
At the same time, SocialBBQ is showcasing its Outlet collection, which has returned from its summer event and trade show tour. At the booth, you can also explore the various options for the Grill Table and plan a setup that’s perfect for your backyard, patio, or summer cottage.
An outdoor space where it’s nice to spend time together
The partnership between SocialBBQ and Terassit.net brings together two perspectives on the same idea.
Terassit.net creates the perfect setting for outdoor living. The SocialBBQ Grill Table brings food, activities, and people together right in the middle of it all.
The end result is an outdoor space that is not just meant to be looked at—but to be experienced.
Come to Habitare to find inspiration, talk about food, and design an outdoor space where you can enjoy spending time together no matter the season.
