Machard Outdoor Table

A Sculptural Centrepiece for the Open Air

The Machard Outdoor Table by Flou is far more than a functional addition to the terrace — it is a considered work of design that brings the same artisanal intelligence of the interior world to life beneath open skies. Created by Studio Contromano, the Machard transitions its iconic silhouette outdoors with complete integrity, retaining every degree of refinement that defines the original. Its densely woven cord pedestal, gathered at the waist with the elegant tension of a lantern in suspension, is finished in a deeply toned bronze-brown that is built to endure the elements without compromising on beauty.

Material Craft That Evolves With the Light

Crowning the sculptural base is a generous round top in dark slatted timber, its surface composed of neatly laid planks that allow air to move freely through the form while preserving the visual solidity of a single unified piece. The warm tones of the wood deepen under direct sunlight, shifting the character of the table from hour to hour as the light travels across the terrace. It is a composition that rewards attention — one that looks different at noon than it does at dusk, and more beautiful for it.

Designed for Gathering, Built for Lingering

The round form of the Machard is a quiet but deliberate choice. It removes hierarchy entirely — there is no head of this table, only the pleasure of being drawn together around something worth sitting at. Whether hosting a long summer lunch, gathering at dusk with a glass in hand, or simply making the outdoor space feel as considered as any room within the home, the Machard transforms a terrace into a setting of genuine intention and warmth.

Flou’s Vision for the Outdoor Space

As part of Flou’s outdoor collection, the Machard represents a bold and confident statement: that the spaces we inhabit outside deserve the same design intelligence, the same material sophistication, and the same beauty as those we live within. It is not simply an outdoor table — it is an expression of the belief that artisanal craft has no boundaries, and that every space, however open to the elements, is worthy of exceptional design.
