The Elegant Outdoors

Abode2 explore how to bring timeless elegance to outdoor spaces with FBC London latest furniture collection – handcrafted for city, country, beach, ski and yacht living.

Founded by internationally acclaimed interior designer, Fiona Barratt-Campbell, FBC London creates impeccably crafted, meticulously detailed, and luxuriously defined furnishings. FBC London’s designs are born of a passion to create pieces inspired by history and the natural world. The brand’s collections are timeless in their simple elegance, luxurious in their materials, quality of finishing and attention to detail. Pieces often contrast between contemporary and traditional, such as marble and bronze juxtaposed with lighter materials, such as glass. Textured surfaces of antique brass or chipped oak are used to evoke textures found in the natural world.

Award-winning designer and entrepreneur, Fiona Barratt-Campbell is recognized as one of Britain’s leading figures in the international world of design. Fiona trained at the London Chelsea College of Art followed by Parsons School of Design in New York. In 2006, she founded her interior design studio, Fiona Barratt Interiors. Following the success of her internationally acclaimed interior projects, Fiona launched her product line, FBC London in 2013.

This unique new collection, by award-winning interior designer Fiona Barratt Campbell, has been created with durability and practicality in mind and each individual piece reflects FBC London’s commitment to craft in the modern age. Inspired by the movement of textures, colours and patterns found in nature, the quality, time and creativity that has been invested in each and every piece is evident.

A versatile collection, many of the existing families of furniture are now available for both indoor and outdoor use, such as the very popular Sol collection, Edesia dining chairs, Roman and evolution side tables. New pieces include upholstered sofas, dining tables and chairs, armchairs, ottomans, side tables and loungers, all of which can be customised if required.

“Our intention with FBC London as a brand is to create antiques of the future, and that can now extend to fully furnishing outdoor living areas too. Lockdown in the UK played a huge part in the decision to expand our existing indoor ranges to be suitable for outdoor entertaining. Our gardens, terraces and balconies became multi-functional, doubling up in some cases as home offices, gyms, yoga studios and dining spaces, and so the barriers between indoor and outdoor have become seamless. Tried and tested in my own garden with friends and family last summer, our new outdoor range allows you to entertain al-fresco all year round.” Says Fiona Barratt Campbell.

Having noticed a shift in demand over the past two years for usable luxurious outdoor living spaces - and following a series of successful indoor collection launches at FBC London - the high-end furniture brand has adapted the materiality of several existing pieces to create the new outdoor offering where distinctive finishes have not been compromised. Each piece has been constructed using high-performance materials made to withstand outdoor climates.

Known traditionally for creating highly textured furniture, this collection by FBC London is much lighter, both in colour and style, and respects the evolution of Fiona’s style over the years. The more delicate materiality and brighter colourways are representative of warmer climes and lighter summer months although a bronze finish is also available as standard.

All furniture is exclusively manufactured in the UK and Europe, often by hand, and every piece can be fully customised. Prices start from £990.
