Color, at its best, is both surface and strategy. With Fermob, the introduction of Latte Beige reframes what an outdoor furniture finish can do, quietly expanding the conversation beyond aesthetics.

This new neutral, developed as part of the brand’s 2025/2026 palette, is its first bio-based color. The powder coating incorporates plant-derived materials, reducing reliance on fossil resources without sacrificing durability. It is a subtle shift, but a meaningful one. Fermob has long treated color as identity. Now it treats it as infrastructure.

Latte Beige lands somewhere between warm sand and softened clay. It tempers the brand’s more saturated tones while still holding its own in high-contrast schemes. For specifiers, it offers a flexible base layer. It reads clean in hospitality settings, but avoids the flatness of standard neutrals. There is depth here, even restraint.

The technical story matters just as much. The coating uses roughly 25% non-food organic waste and delivers a measurable reduction in carbon emissions. It is also backed by Fermob’s closed-loop, zero-discharge paint process. That combination positions the finish as more than a color choice. It becomes part of a broader material strategy.

We recently looked at how expressive elements can anchor a space in this piece on playful utility. Latte Beige works differently. It recedes, organizes, and connects.

In shared outdoor environments, that restraint can be the move. A finish that supports everything else, while still carrying its own point of view.
