Great, some last-minute guests! With its two side extensions, the Biarritz
table can be converted from 2 to 3 metres in length in no time…
perfect for improvised lunches and impromptu dinners! It also makes a
great buffet table... quick, it's time to organise a garden party!
This spacious item of furniture is also ideal for children's games and as
a work space for adults. Its sheer size makes it perfect for spreading out,
whether it's children's crayons or some serious work documents.
Facto and Plein Air chairs are an ideal accompaniment, but this table’s
modern look goes just as well with Luxembourg and Dune seats, too.
Biarritz is available in every shade of the Fermob colour chart!
The upper section of the backrest is available in the colour of your choice,
offering no fewer than 400 possible combinations! So what are you
waiting for? Start experimenting with colour now! Whatever combination
you choose, you can be sure that it will subtly accentuate and enhance the
unique design of this all-new creation!
This contemporary take on the Bistro chair (originally created in 1889 just
like the Eiffel Tower), with its irresistible price tag, goes perfectly with all
Fermob tables and (why not?) also with Origami and Cargo for a sleek
urban look.
Inside Out dares to cross the boundary between indoor and outdoor furni-
ture. Moreover, the collection plays on the differences between earth and sky,
taking inspiration from one of the greatest aeronautical innovations:
Concorde, the interior of which Andrée Putman designed for Air France in
the 1960s and updated in 1994!
The seats of the chairs, armchairs and sunloungers are a take on the air-
liner's seat belts: for a long time, Andrée Putman has wanted to reuse and
show off "this pretty ribbon that is so often ignored".
A number of tables have also been designed: as ever, they're made from
steel, and are available in a variety of heights and sizes (70 × 70cm and
70 × 140cm for dining tables, 70 × 70cm and 35 × 35cm for low tables).
Their lines – clean, crisp and simple – further highlight the elegant, airy
theme behind the collection.
You won't be able to resist the temptation to mix and match them with the
other pieces in the Inside Out range, ensuring your garden that never stays
the same for long! What's more, as they are available in every Fermob
colour, you can let your creative juices flow and explore the most striking of
contrasts!
This year, with Inside Out, gardens everywhere will be bursting with style
while remaining chic, elegant and delicately understated!
Won over by this idea, and overcoming all sorts of technical constraints,
Fermob worked to transform this "ribbon" into a refined, highly resistant
and comfortable weave material of the highest quality capable of withstan-
ding the great outdoors. The braided ribbon gives the product a certain
elegance while remaining unmistakably inspired by air travel.
Accordingly, the straps are available in intense shades of blue (Night), green
(Olive) and grey (Pearl). They play with the light wonderfully, creating
satin-like reflections for a superb iridescent effect!

The Bistro chair, which has just celebrated its 120th birthday (the same
age as the Eiffel Tower), is as popular as ever!
This historic design has been passed on to Fermob, and the brand continues
to write new chapters in its history. Fermob has joined forces with Patrice
Hardy to create an ultra-comfortable chaise longue version of Bistro.
The Bistro chaise longue continues with the same simplicity and practicality
that have made the range a success, creating a product that is extremely
easy to use. The full extent of the chaise longue can even be enjoyed on a
balcony, as the product folds away in no time! As a folding item of furniture,
it is also the perfect travelling companion... picnics will never be the same
again!
And, as with all other items in the collection, the Bistro chaise longue
combines its iconic French styling with the brightest shades for the most
colourful gardens.
With Ellipse, designed by Pascal Mourgue, Fermob has invented the perfect
garden lounge for… doing absolutely nothing!
The Ellipse bench is a reinterpretation of the urban metal bench that graces cities
worldwide, with an added touch of comfort, design and lightness (the three-seater
bench weighs just 20 kg).
It is available in two- and three-seater versions, with its airy metal frame and
welcoming OTF seat carefully crafted for the well-being of its occupants. The seat
also combines flexibility and support, adapting perfectly to the body's contours.
Take one of each type of bench (194 and 130 cm) and add a low table (110 x
90 cm) with the same metal-rod frame, and you have an outdoor lounge that
lends itself marvellously to those endless discussions with unexpected confidences
and laughter floating through the summer evening air.

Every year, Fermob designs new colours or adjusts its existing shades to create perfect colours that are even
more subtle and even more... unique.
In addition to its exceptional colour chart, Fermob also places its know-how at the disposal of customers by helping
them to find and install the perfect colour combinations for their projects.
For 2011, four new colours will be joining the metal colour chart and the OTF colour chart will feature three
brand new shades. Outdoor spaces will love these new colours!
