Fermob

Fermob is a French company for outdoor metal furniture, founded in 1890 in Thoissey (Ain, Burgundy) — the name derives from the French words "fer" (iron) and "mobilier" (furniture), immediately and programmatically naming the company as a pioneer of French metal furniture manufacturing in the late 19th century. Fermob is the manufacturer of two of the most iconic pieces of furniture in French design history. The Bistro collection goes back to the "Simplex" patent of Édouard Leclerc (1889) — the folding terrace chair that allowed café and restaurant owners to use their outdoor seating without paying a permanent pitch fee, as it could be folded and stored away at the end of the day. The Luxembourg collection has its origin in a chair designed in 1923 in the workshops of the Paris city parks department for the Jardin du Luxembourg; in 1990 Fermob delivered nearly 2,000 of these chairs (under the name "Sénat") for the parks Jardin du Luxembourg, Tuileries and Palais-Royal. In 2004 Fermob commissioned designer Frédéric Sofia to reinterpret the original — the result is the Luxembourg collection in aluminium.

Core materials: steel and aluminium (98% recyclable) — in 24 colours of the Fermob colour palette. The colour concept is programmatic: colour as a carrier of emotion, joie de vivre and French art de vivre. Designer collaborations (selection): Frédéric Sofia (Luxembourg — chair, armchair, tables, lounges, benches, stools, entire collection). Product range on Archiproducts: stackable and folding chairs, armchairs, benches, sun loungers, tables (dining, bistro and lounge tables), luminaires, poufs and accessories. Collections: Bistro, Luxembourg, and further contemporary designs. Applications: private gardens and terraces, gastronomy and café terraces, hotel exterior areas, public parks, educational institutions, urban spaces. BIM files available on Archiproducts.

For architects, landscape designers and hospitality specialists seeking for gastronomy, hotel, residential terrace and public outdoor projects a French metal furniture brand that since 1890 has operated in Thoissey, is responsible for two of the most historically widespread outdoor furniture pieces in the world with the Bistro chair (Simplex patent 1889) and the Luxembourg collection (chair for the Jardin du Luxembourg 1923; reinterpretation by Frédéric Sofia 2004), deploys colour as a programmatic design instrument, and with 98% recyclable steel and aluminium documents a verified material ethics — Fermob is a good address in the segment of historically anchored French colour outdoor furniture.
