Six Fermob ranges to add that ‘Je Ne Sais Quoi’
Close to the Saône river in eastern France, between Mâcon and Lyon, Fermob have been creating beautiful metal furniture for decades. Their signature contemporary-twists on traditional, classic styles combined with state-of-the-art manufacturing and knowledge, Fermob garden furniture is designed to last the test of time. In this article, we share six iconic Fermob ranges to add some je ne sais quoi to your garden.
Fermob Bellevie
Bring the joie de vivre to your garden with the Fermob Bellevie garden furniture range. Designed by the talented duo Pagnon & Pelhaître, this popular outdoor furniture range has something for every occasion. Available in a wide range of contemporary colours, the Bellevie range combines clean lines with soft, beautiful curves to create daring geometric shapes. Have fun mixing and matching the items and colours for a perfectly coordinated look. With its laid back, modern design, the Fermob Bellevie range can create stunning spaces for relaxation, dining or drinking, making your outdoor area not just a garden but a living space too. The low Bellevie garden sofas are perfect for relaxing, with cushions covered in Sunbrella® fabric and polyurethane foam inners that are soft, water-repellent and resistant to UV, stains and mould. The dining tables can seat up to ten people, perfect for gathering friends and family for meal al fresco in your garden or on your terrace. The Fermob Bellevie range is available in all the colours of the Fermob colour chart.
Fermob Luxembourg
The original Luxembourg chair was designed in 1923 for the Jardin du Luxembourg, a park in the Latin Quarter of Paris and the meeting place of the French Senate. In 2004, renowned designer Frédéric Sofia created a whole range of garden furniture inspired by this legendary chair. While Fermob still manufactures the original chair for the city's public gardens, the new Luxembourg range is made with lightweight aluminium, rather than steel, but retains all the charm of the historic Parisian garden. With all the expression of French design and culture, the refreshing and timeless design of the Fermob Luxembourg garden furniture range uses simple and distinctive clear lines in all 24 shades of the Fermob colour chart to bring the summer to your balcony, terrace or garden. Combining the lightness and resistance of aluminium with the comfort of curved seat slats, plus the practicality of a stackable frame, the Fermob Luxembourg range includes low seats, a rocking chair, footstools, benches and dining sets that can seat up to ten people.
Fermob Balad
In keeping with the brand’s hallmark spirit, the Fermob Balad outdoor lighting range is both practical and colourful. Combining reliability with an inspired design, the Fermob Balad lighting range enjoys an attractive rounded form with sleek metal supports, ideal to light up those long summer evenings. With different sizes available, you’ll find the perfect lamp for just the right spot in your garden.
Fermob Cocotte
The Fermob Cocotte range of colourful tables are as versatile as they are fashionable. These cleverly designed low tables are made from steel and aluminium in Fermob’s workshop in Thoissey, France. Whether inside or outside, this lightweight range makes the perfect occasional table, and the smaller of the table can even be used as a stool, a plantstand or a footstool! The table tops can also lift away to become a serving tray, so start with drinks and nibbles on the table and, when the party gets going, you can lift them off and offer them round to your guests! Although these tables are lightweight, they are sturdy and hardwearing, and are available in a wide range of fun and funky colours.
Fermob Sixties
Bearing all the hallmarks of the decade from which it takes its name, the Fermob Sixties garden furniture collection fits perfectly into any type of space, from large gardens to urban balconies. Designed by Frédéric Sofia (the same designer mentioned above, who recreated the iconic Luxembourg chair), the Fermob Sixties range uses gentle rounded curves, perfect for sinking into, on colourful aluminium frames that are lightweight. The armchair, chair and bench feature a lightweight, ultra-resistant woven polymer coating, making this range hard-wearing and built to last.
Fermob Bistro
The original iconic bistro chair was patented in 1889 as “Simplex” by Edouard Leclerc, the same year as the Eiffel Tower was opened. The folding chair became hugely popular with café owners on the boulevards of French cities and towns at the end of the 19th century, where they could be easily folded away and stored to avoid paying a license for a permanent terrace! The Fermob Bistro range has been developed from the original patent, a range so quintessentially French in style you might think you’re on the Rue Montorgueil. This distinctive range is bursting with charm and authenticity, offering chairs, tables, bar stools and loungers.
