French outdoor furniture manufacturer Fermob creates innovative, clever and fun outdoor furniture, filling the world with colour and playful design.
With a modern collection designed for outdoor living, and ever curious to venture into our indoor spaces, the brand has acquired legendary status, both in France and worldwide, through iconic collections with international influence. Emblematic of French design, Fermob’s collections are a true expression of French culture and design.
It offers a universal and direct link to nature and our environment, which Fermob taps into to create an art de vivre, or art of living, focusing on variations of light, colour, form and materials. A trilogy specific to Fermob’s industrial know-how, innovation is part of Fermob’s DNA and driven by an internal design team as well as collaborations with both renowned and up-and-coming designers.
Magnified by colour and simple lines, the design process is based on different uses. From residential spaces to offices to urban spaces, Fermob draws on contemporary trends, innovation and expertise to meet the expectations of its market for both individual consumers and professionals.

Designed for longevity, comfort and elegance, Fermob’s offerings focus on quality and functionality, which has been the brand’s cornerstone for more than 30 years. In addition to furniture, Fermob teams also provide customers with comprehensive furnishing solutions, such as 3D plans, full installation of a space, custom projects, and more, thanks to the company’s long-term design expertise.
As a flagship of French manufacturing with three production sites in France (Thoissey, Anneyron and Macôn), Fermob has specialised in metalworking (sheet steel and aluminium), prioritising strength and an exemplary quality of finish (welds and powder coating). The furniture beautifully combines materials like steel or aluminium with teak and fabrics.

In today’s world, faced with the global challenge of climate change, Fermob’s commitments are evolving towards circularity, with the aim of improving manufacturing processes, finding sustainable alternatives, changing the working habits of employees and partners and, ultimately, delivering eco-designed products in keeping with today’s world.
A respect for the environment is an ongoing priority for the design brand, which forms part of an eco-responsible approach to combat waste and encourage the reuse of furniture. Fermob has, for example, taken concrete action by working with its long-standing paint supplier, Axalta, a world leader in paint coatings, to offer new and innovative furniture repainting solutions for the brand through its network of re-paint specialists.
This solution brings together several advantages: a local network, powder coating professionals and a wide range of Fermob colours. All this is carried out in an eco-responsible approach that plays its part in the circular economy. Continuing on this mission, and to combat waste and promote the reuse of furniture, Fermob now offers a range of “second life” furniture. This sustainable approach contributes to the circular economy and encourages customers to return preloved furniture at the end of a leasing contract or through various uses that Fermob offers.
