Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, celebrated in fashion circles for his bold, artistic visions, steps into uncharted territory with Fermob by reimagining the iconic 1900 chair as Ange—a metal garden armchair that fuses poetry, romance, and exquisite craftsmanship. Far from mere seating, Ange’s backrest captures two cherubs locked in a tender kiss, their silhouettes elegantly forming a heart shape that’s as visually captivating as it is ergonomically comfortable. This whimsical motif infuses patios, terraces, and even indoor spaces with Belle Époque elegance, transforming everyday moments into something enchantingly expressive.
Fermob’s metalworking prowess shines through every detail. Delicate curved wires weave gracefully, while hand-forged rings and wing-like extensions on the armrests add a sculptural flair. The laser-cut backrest and finely detailed seat evoke Jean Cocteau’s poetic rhythm: heart to heart, nose to nose, face to face, mouth to mouth. It’s a dialogue of intimacy rendered in metal, tempting admirers to pause before sitting—yet inviting deeper engagement all the same.
Practicality meets artistry in Ange’s design for enduring outdoor life. Fermob’s anti-UV polyester powder coating shields against the elements, ensuring fade resistance and longevity. Stackable for effortless storage, the chairs come in all 24 shades of Fermob’s vibrant color chart, from subtle neutrals to vivid pops that adapt to any aesthetic—bold statements for urban terraces or harmonious accents in lush gardens.
This collaboration celebrates shared values: fine craftsmanship that sparks joy. Ange doesn’t just furnish spaces; it spreads wings of imagination, making users feel ready to fly. In a world of functional furniture, it reminds us that beauty is essential, turning seating into storytelling.
