Who is Fermob? Two words epitomise Fermob furniture : Outdoor Lounge. Outdoor, for everything which attracts and draws us outside to recharge our batteries ; and Lounge, for our desire to relax and feel at ease. In brief, Fermob furniture is part of the pleasure gained from the positive effects of nature, such as getting together in a garden, improvising a terrace on a beach or creating a green paradise in one’s own back yard… For the ever-increasing number of people who yearn for this lifestyle, Fermob offers a range of innovative and comfortable furniture, in various shapes and sizes which let one’s imagination run wild and encourage numerous creative ideas for decoration, since the furniture is available in a multitude of colours. Fermob’s mission is to design and make outdoor furniture which decorates the garden in a relaxed and convivial way. Fermob furniture has an added creative value, is of high quality, and is attractive, comfortable and affordable.
Good for the Environment Fermob was the first furniture company to sign the VARAPE agreement for special waste recycling, collection and disposal; in addition, Fermob is also set to gain the ISO 14001* accreditation by the end of the year. At the heart of Fermob there is a deep respect for the environment, in the production of its furniture any waste occured during production is sorted and recycled. Furthermore Fermob has selected a green choice of mateirals for its outdoor lounge range:Iron and aluminium : materials recycled to over 95% the world over, thanks to an organised and well-managed recycling process. The sorting and recycling of metal in refuse centres was the first recycling circuit to function effectively throughout the world. Consequently, Fermob can guarantee that its furniture is not only recyclable, but – more importantly – actually recycled. Outdoor Technical Fabrics (OTFs) : Fermob’s suppliers are among the most demanding in terms of sustainable development. For example, Fermob’s leading OTF supplier is committed to a unique patented recycling process, Texyloop®, which can recycle 100% of components. All scraps and offcuts of OTF resulting from the manufacture of Fermob chairs are therefore recycled. Ecological paint protects both the environment and your health : the powder paints used by Fermob (DuPont®, 100% polyester powder) contain no solvents. They are 100% recyclable and are recycled in our zero-waste installation All other waste is sorted and recycled. Wood : used only for our “Bistro Naturel” seats, comes exclusively from sustainably managed, PEFC-certified european forests.
Fermob Gurantees All Fermob furniture protected with the 'Very High Protection Treatment' is guaranteed for three years against corrosion and other forms of visible deterioration. The 'Very High Protection Treatment' is applied as standard to all our premium products. It can, however, be applied to any Fermob product upon specific request and subject to certain conditions. All Fermob furniture protected with the High Protection Treatment is guaranteed for one year against corrosion and other forms of visible deterioration.   = 'Very High Protection' = guaranteed for 3 years   = 'High Protection' = guaranteed for 1 year
The Materials & Treatment for Full Outside Use For its furniture, Fermob has chosen to use metal, the "ideas material", as Gustave Eiffel called it, won over by the many ways of using it. The metals used are top-grade steel or aluminium.  Innovations developed by the car industry mean that today they can be used in all weathers. Fermob furniture is either exclusively made of metal or used in combination with tear-proof Outdoor Technical Fabric, PVC-coated polyester or rot-proof wood.
Fermob furniture undergoes several stages of rust-proofing followed by two paint stages: a Fermob-exclusive process in one of the most efficient plants in Europe. Two treatments are proposed : - a High Protection Index 13 treatment in 13 stages - a Very High Protection Index 22, or cataphoresis for use in very humid or saline climates. - The paint is a DuPont® powder, 100% polyester, anti-UV, deposited electrostatically on the furniture for optimal coverage, then baked at 193°, just like in the car industry.
The Fermob guarantee does not cover the following: • Any damage arising from insufficient care, or from non-compliance with the supplied instructions and advice for receiving, assembling, using, maintaining and storing Fermob furniture. • General wear and tear or natural fading of the materials used. • Corrosion originating from scratches or abrasions that result fromgeneral wear and tear and which cannot be removed via standard cleaning and maintenance processes. • The corrosion of stainless-steel parts due to use in a confined, chlorinated environment. • Any changes in the visual appearance of wood that are directly linked to ageing. As wood is a living material, the appearance of its surface evolves naturally over time. The guarantee will be honoured only upon presentation of the invoice for the purchase of the product concerned.
