About the...
Luxembourg Low Armchair
It was in the 1920s that the Luxembourg low armchair first appeared along the pathways of the famous Paris park from which it takes its name, straight from the Parisian workshops where the first versions were made. Who could know then that, decades later, it would be reproduced by a workshop dedicated to traditional crafts at Fermob. In the 1990s, at the request of the Jardin du Luxembourg, Fermob started manufacturing the armchair once again. Today, the Luxembourg low armchair continues to charm thanks to its numerous qualities: its lightness makes it easy to move it from one end of the garden to the other; its clever design includes accessories such as a headrest and low tables to create a lounge corner; and its practicality means it is perfectly stackable for easy storage.

Fermob
Fermob makes French metal garden furniture in a palette of colours chosen to be seen from the house. The Bistro folding chair descends from a design made for public parks in the 1880s, and it is still the most useful thing on a small terrace: it folds flat, it weighs almost nothing, and it means six more people can sit down at twenty minutes' notice.
Colour is the point of the brand, and the palette is designed to work in combination rather than to match. A table in one shade and chairs in another is the standard move. Alternating chair colours around a single table is the braver one and looks deliberate rather than accidental, because the shades were drawn to sit together.
Underneath that, steel and aluminium with a powder-coated finish built for weather. The aluminium ranges cannot rust at all. The steel is treated, and the only real failure mode is a chip left unrepaired somewhere wet, which is why Fermob supplies touch-up paint in every colour. A minute with that pen in autumn prevents the problem entirely.
Most of it can stay out all year in most climates, and will simply look newer for longer if you store or cover it where the ground freezes and thaws. Darker shades show less dust; the pale neutrals let the planting lead. The questions below cover rust, winter and choosing colours.
