Fermob Outdoor Furniture: Colourful French Design | Plaisir du Jardin

Colour has a way of changing how a space feels, and Fermob has been using it to bring gardens, terraces and balconies to life for decades. The French brand’s furniture, lighting and accessories combine playful colour with practical design. They’re creating pieces made for the everyday moments that unfold both indoors and out.

A spectrum of tones

Central to the Fermob identity is a palette of 25 colours, ranging from understated neutrals to brighter, more expressive shades. Used across its recognisable furniture and accessories, the colours make it easy to introduce personality to an outdoor setting, whether through a single statement piece or a combination of complementary tones.

But there is practicality behind the playfulness. Fermob’s furniture is designed to be comfortable, lightweight and easy to live with, while durability and more environmentally conscious production remain important considerations. The aesthetic is distinctly French. Relaxed and charming, but with enough simplicity to work just as comfortably in contemporary spaces as it does in more traditional gardens.

In South Africa, Fermob is available through Plaisir du Jardin, where its combination of colour, comfort and charm sits naturally alongside a collection dedicated to making more of life outdoors.

Transforming your outdoor spaces

With more than 40 years in the industry, Plaisir du Jardin hand-picks outdoor furniture and accessories from manufacturers around the world, with a focus on quality, originality and products suited to South Africa’s climate. Its offering extends from furniture to umbrellas, Italian terracotta and glazed pots, outdoor fabrics and decorative pieces. They bring transformation to spaces and allow patios and gardens to be considered as complete living spaces rather than simply furnished areas.

Each Plaisir du Jardin showroom has its own character. The team helping clients bring together classic or contemporary outdoor settings to suit their homes and the way they live.

There is something fitting about Fermob finding a South African home at a company whose name translates from French as “the pleasure of the garden”. With colour, comfort and good design at the forefront, both share a simple idea: outdoor spaces should be places that are genuinely enjoyable to live in.
