The Dapple Collection is inspired by the gentle play of sunlight filtering through leaves in the breeze, creating soft, shifting patterns of light and shadow. This tranquil image encapsulates the essence of the collection — a balance of lightness and strength that feels effortlessly at home in outdoor spaces.
"Dapple" captures the calm, organic beauty of nature with its subtle curves and textures. Building upon this concept, the collection features perforated patterns that mimic the interplay of sunlight and shade. Paired with soft, rounded curves and an understated design, Dapple exudes a refined yet approachable elegance.
As Ferm Living’s first fully realised outdoor dining collection, Dapple combines practicality with a clean, modern look. Stackable chairs, flat-packed tables, and benches enhance usability, while the use of durable materials and bespoke powder-coated finishes ensures longevity. Designed with both functionality and beauty in mind, the collection elevates outdoor living with its seamless integration of form and function.
A defining feature of the Dapple Collection is its carefully designed perforation pattern, which is prominently featured on the seat, backrest, and tabletop of each piece. The perforation reduces the visual weight of the pieces, giving them a lighter appearance while maintaining their structural integrity. This design detail also allows air and water to pass through effortlessly, ensuring the furniture remains comfortable in a variety of weather conditions and is easy to maintain over time.
Dapple’s tubular frame acts as a unifying element, into which the sheet metal elegantly wraps, creating a smooth and flowing transition between the frame and perforated surfaces. By utilising a singular diameter for the tubular framework, the design achieves a harmonious balance, allowing the perforated details and soft curves to take centre stage without overwhelming the overall composition.
The collection’s design prioritises user functionality without compromising on elegance. Stackable chairs offer convenient storage, while flat-packed tables and benches ensure ease of transport and assembly, catering to the needs of modern living. The durable materials provide weather resistance and longevity, while the thoughtfully selected colourways deliver a cohesive look.
At the heart of the collection is Cashmere, a soft and versatile tone that forms the foundation of the palette. An integral part of Ferm Living’s brand universe, this neutral hue exudes understated sophistication and acts as a calming backdrop, allowing the surrounding environment to emerge.
Complementing Cashmere is the deeper, more grounded tone of Dark Chocolate, a hue that introduces depth and richness to the palette. This grounding colour anchors the collection with its substantial presence, creating a harmonious balance and offering a refined counterpoint to lighter hues. An alternative to heavier tones such as black and anthracite, its weight and intensity lend a sense of structure without compromising on elegance.
Bridging these tonal extremes, Tea Green exudes a light and organic touch. Hailed as the new sage, this gentle, warm shade infuses the palette with a natural vibrancy and adds a refreshing quality. Its seamless integration with both neutral and dark tones helps create a cohesive harmony, ensuring the palette remains versatile yet distinct.
Together, these hues form a nuanced interplay of light and shadow, warmth and restraint — balancing softness and strength. Whether used individually or combined, they create an inviting, cohesive look that enhances the context of outdoor spaces while remaining distinctly ‘Ferm.’
Whether enhancing a sunlit patio or complementing a garden setting, the collection brings a refined yet approachable elegance that elevates everyday moments. With its timeless appeal and enduring quality, Dapple serves as an invitation to enjoy the endearing simplicity of outdoor living.
