Background
Edmond Chastagnier was supposed to retire in 1976, after a well-spent career in teaching. However, his retirement soon became the beginning of a new career. Edmond settled in a nice village in the French region of Velay, and bought a small workshop specializing in metal fabrication. His dream was to build a company and pass it on to his progeny…: hence, Edmond & Fils.
Since then, the brand has flourished into a household name for the most sought-after outdoor furniture.
Signature Style
The French « Art de Vivre » embodied by exquisite, steel outdoor furniture that stands the test of time. Tapping into the imaginary of French visual culture, Edmond & Fils revisit some familiar styles from the 1920s and 50s, and transform them into timeless designs. Each piece is impeccably executed by skilled metal workers who combine traditional metalworking techniques with the latest, most advanced technologies. Stylish and casual at the same time, the outdoor collections by Edmond & Fils are all about lightness and comfort; conceived as an invitation to truly enjoy the time spent in the garden.
Showstoppers
The iconic Tuileries collection that graces Luxembourg and Tuileries gardens in Paris. Most designs by Edmond & Fils are the outdoor furniture of choice for some prestigious landmarked palaces, including Versailles and Villa Medici in Rome. The Siam collection designed by renowned landscape architect Louis Benech, inspired by the elegant shape of bamboo stems.
