Vondom Origins: a history of innovation in outdoor furniture design

25/07/2024

Since our beginnings, Vondom has positioned itself as a benchmark in the world of contemporary design. Founded with the vision of creating innovative and aesthetically superior furniture, the brand has been able to combine practicality and originality in each collection. By investing in renowned international designers and developing iconic pieces, Vondom has left an indelible mark on the modern design scene.

Vondom’s beginnings in furniture design

In the early years, our goal was clear: to revolutionise the outdoor furniture market. Our story begins with a planter, our first creation, symbolising what we came to do in the world of design: cultivate respect and passion for it.

From those early days, we were committed to collaborating with the best international design talents. With them, we created a unique synergy between functionality and aesthetics, quickly distinguishing ourselves from other manufacturers. This global approach allowed us to incorporate diverse perspectives and styles, enriching our collections and positioning us as a leader in the outdoor sector.

Design and sustainability: a commitment from the beginning

From the beginning, it was clear to us that polymers were ideal for outdoor furniture. They are durable, require little maintenance and are environmentally resistant. They are also 100% recyclable.

In our production process, we have always been careful to minimise pollution. We recycle all leftover material, ensuring that every step is aligned with our ecological values.

The essence of the Mediterranean: inspiration and way of life

Mediterranean culture has been an endless source of inspiration. Our fresh and vibrant aesthetic reflects this influence, capturing the essence of the Mediterranean lifestyle in every design. Our collections not only adorn spaces, but also convey the warmth and joie de vivre of our region.

Commitment to international designers

Our strategy of collaborating with international designers has been key to our success. Figures such as Karim Rashid, Stefano Giovannoni, Eero Aarnio and Ramón Esteve, among others, have left their mark on our collections.

Our first designers brought their unique vision and distinctive style. And thanks to these collaborations, we have created pieces that, over time, have become true icons of outdoor furniture design.

Stone, by Stefano Giovannoni

The Italian designer’s collection convinces with its organic forms. As its name suggests, it seems to be found in nature itself, creating a synergy between the natural and the artificial landscape. Stone integrates perfectly into any environment, transmitting elegance, thanks to its material as well as its original shape.

Faz, by Ramón Esteve

The Valencian designer proposes an architectural design that plays with angular and geometric shapes. It stands out for its modular design and sophistication, representing harmony, serenity and timelessness with mineral and emphatic shapes.

Adan collection Vondom

Adan, by Teresa Sapey

‘The most attractive man’ is a piece with a lot of personality, faceted in its shape as if it were a diamond. Adan presents geometric lines and faceted details that provide a unique and contemporary aesthetic.

Surf, by Karim Rashid

The flow of the wave that composes the lounger alludes to a sense of calm, evoking a gentle swell, a fluid gesture that varies with the light. Karim Rashid’s method replaces the canvas of the world with a new well-being that evokes calm and informality, driven by vibrant forms that awaken freshness and global dynamism.

And, by Fabio Novembre

The And collection, designed by Fabio Novembre, is characterised by its curved and fluid shapes. Inspired by the symbol of infinity, each piece invites reflection and dialogue.

Africa, by Eugeni Quitllet

The Africa collection, by Eugeni Quitllet, stands out for its simplicity and elegance. Its pure lines and minimalist shapes make this collection a versatile and timeless choice.

Global expansion: from Valencia to the World

Over time, we have expanded our international presence, establishing showrooms in the main design capitals and participating in the sector’s most important trade fairs. We currently have showrooms and flagship stores in Valencia, Miami, Nueva York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Ciudad de México, Cancún and Shanghai.

Constant innovation and the search for new collaborations have kept the brand at the pinnacle of exterior design.

There you can also find designer furniture made of different materials. Vondom now produces outdoor furniture with different materials such as plastic fibres, aluminium, wood, among others.  Each of these materials has its own characteristics and advantages that give the furniture durability, resistance and excellent quality.
In short, Vondom's designer furniture can now also be found in the new Ard Outdoor showroom located in Toronto, Canada-14

What does the future hold for Vondom?

We look to the future with enthusiasm, aware of the road we have travelled and the achievements we have made. In 2019, we introduce our eco-smart ‘Revolution’ philosophy, focused on creating responsible furniture with recycled and recyclable materials, sustainable processes and durable design. In 2022, we added sustainable materials such as wood and aluminium, and new fabrics that generate emotional connections, creating intimate and more relaxing environments.

In 2024, we refresh our portfolio with new colours and fabrics that reflect the beauty of our environment, integrating them into our collections to bring a more welcoming feel to each piece.

We will continue to innovate and collaborate with the best design talent to deliver stunning collections. Our mission is to continue to be a pioneer in outdoor furniture design, taking the culture of design further.
