The Come Collection by Patrick Norguet modernizes the outdoor patio at the McDonald's locations in France. Since the same Paris-based designer recently redesigned the interiors of these same locations as well as created ceramic cups to be used in the fast food franchise, it is only natural that he would also tackle the patio furniture as well.
Created in collaboration with Italian brand Alias, the Come Collection by Patrick Norguet is comprised of 18 modular pieces including tables, chairs, benches, lights and trash cans. Made out of sheet metal and concrete for durability and easy maintenance, they will be introduced in 150 restaurants across France over the next two to three years.
