Luxembourg (Armchair) from Fermob

The Luxembourg range, initially produced for the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris, has become something of a legend in its own right. Its style is an emblem of French design – an expression of French culture in furniture form! Today, Luxembourg is a fabulous collection made from aluminium whose watchwords are lightness, joie de vivre and conviviality. Recently, Fermob asked Frédéric Sofia to reinterpret the legendary chairs and armchairs of the Jardin du Luxembourg, created in 1923 in the Paris parks department workshops, and which Fermob still manufactures today for the city's public gardens. The result was a whole collection of furniture with the same distinctive lines and forms, combining the lightness and resistance of aluminium with the comfort of curved seat slats.

In 2004, Fermob asked designer Frédéric Sofia to rework the design of the legendary Luxembourg gardens metal chair and turn it into a welcoming armchair, adding armrests to make it an even more comfortable place to sit. This metal garden armchair encapsulates the essence of Luxembourg: the grandeur, elegance, modernity and charm of Parisian gardens. Unexpected guests? An impromptu meal? There are always fun times ahead. A splash of colour, a seat cushion and you’re ready to while away those long, heady summer days. Luxembourg is a microcosm of Fermob’s outdoor expertise: a light, ultra-resistant aluminium frame, and anti-UV paint that’s guaranteed to withstand the elements, even by the sea.
