The Fermob Bistro Duraflon chair represents a modernized iteration of Pascal Mourgue's reinterpretation of the legendary Bistro model, originally introduced in 1889 as an instant hit with Parisian café proprietors requiring durable, portable seating. The Duraflon variant replaces traditional slatted steel seats with innovative engineered composite seating, combining the iconic folding mechanism with enhanced comfort and weather resistance. Mourgue, a renowned French industrial designer, has created multiple folding seating solutions for Fermob, bringing contemporary materials science to classic design archetypes. The Bistro Duraflon maintains the characteristic seven-steel-slat aesthetic while introducing more refined proportions and ergonomic support for extended dining comfort. The frame is precision-welded steel finished in powder-coated color across 24+ Fermob options. Manufactured in Thoissey using cataphoresis anti-corrosion treatment and multi-layer UV-resistant coating, the chair folds instantly for convenient seasonal storage. This is design evolution—preserving heritage while advancing comfort and material performance.

The Bistro Duraflon chair stands 33.5 inches high with an 18-inch seat width, accommodating standard adult dining posture and diverse body types. The steel frame is available in 24+ powder-coated colors; the seat features Duraflon (engineered composite material) providing superior comfort compared to traditional steel slats while maintaining stain and moisture resistance. The chair folds flat for storage, achieving dimensions of approximately 16 x 4 x 33 inches. Weight is approximately 5.5 pounds ensuring convenient single-person setup and repositioning. The frame receives cataphoresis anti-corrosion protection and two-layer UV-resistant powder coating for lasting durability. Care involves regular cleaning with mild soap solutions; the Duraflon seat may be wiped clean quickly. Perfect for café operations, bistro establishments, casual dining areas, hospitality venues, or storage-conscious residential spaces.

Clean metal surfaces when debris accumulates using a soft cloth and mild soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly. Remove bird droppings, sap, and leaves promptly to prevent surface damage. For scratches or chips in the powder coating, use Fermob touch-up spray or paint pen to prevent corrosion. Do not cover with non-breathable materials; allow good air circulation. Store in a dry location during extended non-use or raise furniture on blocks to avoid moisture retention around feet.
