Fermob Bistro Metal Chair
The Fermob Bistro metal chair is the authentic reincarnation of the 1889 café seating archetype that made Fermob synonymous with Parisian design tradition and outdoor furniture excellence. The Bistro metal chair features the original seven curved steel slats configuration that allowed café owners to fold their chairs instantaneously—a practical innovation that exempted the design from patent obligation and enabled widespread adoption. The frame is precision-welded steel, folding with mechanical efficiency that persists across decades of recreational and commercial use without degradation. This iconic model requires no designer attribution beyond acknowledging its heritage; it is the foundational template from which numerous contemporary reinterpretations have emerged worldwide. Manufactured throughout Fermob's Thoissey facilities using time-tested cataphoresis anti-corrosion treatment and multiple UV-resistant powder-coat layers, the Bistro metal chair delivers uncompromising durability. Available in 24+ Fermob colors, the chair suits diverse aesthetic vocabularies from nostalgic Parisian settings to contemporary minimalist terrace arrangements.
The Bistro metal chair stands 33.5 inches high with an 18-inch seat width and 17-inch seat depth, providing comfortable seating for diverse body types and entertaining scenarios. The steel frame is available in any of 24+ powder-coated colors with smooth, refined finishes. The seat consists of seven curved steel slats that fold cleanly and stack efficiently for storage or seasonal transitions. Folded dimensions are approximately 16 x 4 x 33 inches; weight is approximately 5 pounds, making transport and repositioning effortless. The frame receives cataphoresis anti-corrosion treatment and two-layer UV-resistant powder coating for exceptional durability across seasons. Care involves regular cleaning with mild solutions and seasonal protective storage. Suitable for residential terraces, traditional bistro cafés, casual dining venues, professional hospitality environments, or French-inspired garden settings.
