Fermob Bistro Duraflon Chair
A café classic since 1889, updated with weatherproof Duraflon® resin slats that stay comfortable through years of sun and rain.
The Bistro Duraflon chair keeps the original folding steel frame — the same clip-secured mechanism that let Parisian café owners clear a terrace in minutes — and swaps the steel seat for curved Duraflon® resin slats. Like every Fermob piece, it is built in Thoissey, France, with an anti-corrosion treatment beneath a UV-resistant powder coat.

Common Questions
Can the Bistro Duraflon chair stay outdoors all season?
Yes. The steel frame carries Fermob's anti-corrosion treatment and UV-resistant powder coat, and Duraflon® resin shrugs off sun and rain. Fold it flat and store it under cover through winter to extend the finish.
How is it different from the classic Bistro metal chair?
The folding frame is the same 1889 design; the curved slats are Duraflon® resin instead of lacquered steel, which adds comfort and wipes clean quickly. It folds and stores exactly like the original.
