Making its first appearance in 1889, the Bistro chair was an instant hit with café owners, happy to make the most of their first terraces. In addition to its emblematic design, the Bistro chair can be folded in the blink of an eye, a feature which has allowed it to be exempted from patent payment. Holder of the “Simplex” patent, Fermob continues to pave the path of this small metal chair.
