AN ARRAY OF COLOR POSSIBILITIESGardens invite us to explore our imagination. Plants, trees, games… Sharing and daydreams…This realm of freedom nurtures self-expression. And sometimes self-discovery too. Fermob’s philosophy embraces the imagination by offering 23 colors – metal, fresh, contemporary, sparkling or classic but always exclusive. They form the wildest choice on the garden furniture market. Our color chart is a work in progress, and regularly refreshed. We do not strive to cover all bases or follow fashion fads. Our wish is to offer you a coherent, enduring range that gives you options for combining colors and all our product ranges. The look you create can stay monochrome, add touches of color, or be kaleidoscopic… It’s up to you to compose the world that reflects your personality, by expressing your creative impulse! THE BLOOMING OF A COLOROur colors owe nothing to chance: each one is conceived and developed with meticulous care. They must stand alone but also enhance our color chart, adding plenty of possible combinations. A team with complementary skills (in art, design and merchandising) works in concert to define our directions: they detect and anticipate trends, and handle colors and harmonies daily, both outdoors and in our shops (who tell us which harmonies are in demand). A network of interlinked actions… and vibrant creative activity that yields unique colors, shades and tones! TEXTURE: AN INGREDIENT IN COLOR!Many properties of color - such as depth, radiance, softness, intensity and richness - are also influenced by texture. To obtain just the right shade, Fermob also offers a range of finishes: smooth, textured, glittery, mat, semi-mat, and more… We constantly research the materials we add to the color-base powder. Metal mother-of-pearl, gold or silver particles are distributed evenly or randomly to make each color even more bright. INTEGRATED KNOW-HOWAt our factory in Thoissey, northeast of Lyon, Fermob has one of the most efficient in-house painting lines in Europe. The brand can thus control its finishes and ensure consistently high-quality application. 22-stage process (degreasing, anti-corrosion treatments, oven baking etc), performed in a 220m-long system, is a well-guarded secret. A powder coating is deposited electrostatically, and then oven baked… The operations are so delicate that even the slightest discrepancy can alter the color! Courtesy of its controlled know-how, Fermob offers robust products protected from the effects of the sunlight and humidity, and whose color loses none of its intensity over time - for enduring pleasure, and a wonderfully vivid garden! |
