Fermob Bistro Metal Chair (Set of 2)
A café fixture since 1889, this folding steel chair let Parisian bistro owners clear a terrace in minutes.
Seven curved steel slats fold against a precision-welded frame — the same clip mechanism that helped the design escape patent, letting it spread worldwide. Built at Fermob's ISO 14001-certified Thoissey factory near Lyon, the frame gets a cataphoresis anti-corrosion treatment beneath a UV-resistant powder coat, part of the wider Fermob collection. Sold as a set of two chairs in one color; the per-chair price shows beside the set price.
