Colour has always been part of Fermob’s DNA.For more than three decades, Fermob has challenged the idea that outdoor furniture needs to be neutral. Its colour palette has become one of the brand’s most recognisable signatures, giving designers and homeowners the freedom to create outdoor spaces that feel personal, expressive and full of life.
Now, there is a new shade to add to the mix.
Meet Rosalie.
A vibrant, confident pink with depth and warmth, Rosalie is the newest addition to the Fermob colour palette — and it brings an entirely new energy to the collection. Rosalie is not a pastel pink and it is not overly sweet.
Fermob describes the shade as pink in its purest form: deep, balanced and without strong blue or orange undertones. The result is a colour that feels contemporary and sophisticated while still having a sense of playfulness.
It is expressive without dominating. And that makes it surprisingly versatile.
Used sparingly, Rosalie can become the detail that brings an outdoor setting together, a single chair around a dining table, a side table on a terrace or a colourful accent against natural materials.
Used more confidently, it can transform an entire setting.
Why colour matters outdoors
Outdoor spaces have their own natural palette. Greens from planting, warm timber, stone, terracotta, concrete and the changing tones of the sky all become part of the design.
Fermob’s approach to colour recognises this. Rather than creating shades in isolation, its colour experts develop the palette as a collection of tones designed to work together. The current palette moves from soft and natural shades through earthy greens and warm neutrals to deeper colours and more vibrant accents.
Rosalie introduces a new point of energy within that mix. It can soften against natural greens, become warmer alongside earthy tones or create a more playful combination with brighter shades.
That versatility is what makes it interesting.
Rosalie + green
For Australian gardens, one of the most natural ways to use Rosalie is alongside green. Think lush planting, Cactus, Rosemary or Willow Green, with Rosalie providing a contrasting note.
The combination feels fresh rather than overly coordinated — allowing the furniture to sit within the landscape while still giving the space a distinct personality. It is particularly effective where the architecture is restrained. Against concrete, stone or timber, a Rosalie chair can become a small but deliberate moment of colour.
Rosalie + earthy tones
For a more sophisticated palette, Rosalie takes on a warmer character when paired with deeper and more natural tones. Think Tonka, Nutmeg, Red Ochre or Black Cherry. Here, the pink becomes less about contrast and more about creating depth.
It is an approach that works particularly well for hospitality spaces, where colour can be used to establish an atmosphere and reinforce the identity of a venue.
A Rosalie chair does not need to be repeated throughout an entire setting. A considered mix of colours can create rhythm and visual interest without feeling overly matched.
A new way to use familiar Fermob designs
One of the pleasures of Fermob’s colour system is that a new colour can completely change the personality of a familiar design.
The Bistro chair is perhaps the clearest example. Its distinctive French silhouette has remained remarkably consistent, but the colour can make it feel entirely different. In Rosalie, the iconic folding chair takes on a more contemporary and confident character.
The same applies across Fermob’s broader collection, from tables and occasional pieces to lighting and accessories. The design remains familiar. The colour changes the mood.
Designed for life indoors and out
Although Fermob is synonymous with outdoor furniture, Rosalie has been developed to work beyond the garden.
Fermob describes the colour as equally at home indoors and outside — whether used as an accent or embraced across an entire setting.
This reflects the way we increasingly think about our homes. The boundary between inside and outside continues to soften, particularly in Australian homes where terraces, balconies, courtyards and gardens are treated as extensions of the living space.
Colour, made for the outdoors
For Fermob, colour is not simply about appearance.
Every shade in the metal palette is developed and tested for the demands of outdoor use, including UV exposure, moisture, abrasion and colour durability. Fermob’s integrated finishing process allows the brand to control the application of its powder-coated finishes from preparation through to curing.
That means Rosalie is designed to bring its character outside — not just to look beautiful on the day it arrives.
Welcome to the palette, Rosalie
Fermob has never believed that outdoor furniture should disappear into the background. Rosalie continues that tradition, adding a fresh, expressive shade to a colour palette designed to give people more freedom to create.
