LAFUMA MOBILIER 70 years

“It was at Anneyron, in Drome, that the three brothers Alfred, Victor and Gabriel Lafuma created their eponymous brand in 1930.”

It was at Anneyron in Drôme that the three brothers Alfred, Victor and Gabriel Lafuma created their eponymous brand in 1930. The story started with the invention of a metal-frame backpack, companion to the first French explorers seeking adventures and discoveries. The brand developed during the 1930s, with the take-off of paid holidays and the growth of motoring. The portable furniture made of metal and fabric marketed by LAFUMA rapidly became the ideal holiday companion. At the time, the specifications also required that the stool or recliner chair had to «fit in the boot of a Renault Dauphine». So for 70 years, from the historic «little folders» to the Pop Ups with their compact folding, many models have appeared wonderfully combining comfort, style, and quality. Today our design teams are continuing this ongoing work of devising functional furniture: comfortable, practical, easy to dismantle or repair. “Today our design teams are continuing this ongoing work of devising functional furniture: comfortable, practical, easy to dismantle or repair.”
