Fermob: Master of French joie de vivre and metal craftsmanship
Founded in 1989, Fermob’s story traces back to the blacksmith workshops of the Beaujolais region, where the art of metalwork has been passed down from one generation to the next. Over time, these traditional ateliers have evolved into a modern production hub where artisanal skill and cutting-edge technology go hand in hand.
At Finnish Design Shop, you’ll find a wide selection of Fermob pieces – from colourful terrace furniture to stylish chairs, tables and versatile lighting designs.
The power of colour and timeless city icons
One of Fermob’s most iconic creations, the Bistro chair, dates all the way back to 1889 – making it just as old as the Eiffel Tower! Lightweight, foldable and instantly recognisable, the Bistro collection has become a familiar sight on Parisian terraces and landmark squares across the globe – even in New York’s Times Square.
In the 1990s, Fermob truly made its mark by introducing a bold new colour palette to outdoor spaces – a radical shift in an era when garden furniture was largely limited to shades of green or white. Fermob’s rich, harmonious colours mix and match effortlessly, letting you build your own mood and rhythm in outdoor areas with unique, personal style.
The many possibilities of metal
Metal is at the heart of Fermob’s design philosophy – valued for its strength, versatility and recyclability. At the brand’s factory in Thoissey, near Lyon, every stage of production – from design and welding to surface treatment – is carried out with precision, blending industrial processes with artisan flair. A tough, high-quality powder coating ensures each piece maintains its vivid colour and stands the test of time.
Fermob’s in-house design team collaborates with external creatives to keep the collections fresh and evolving, combining the brand’s playful DNA with inventive new ideas.
