Fermob BISTRO folding metal chair

An iconic piece in the Fermob collection, the BISTRO metal chair continues to win hearts around the globe. From New York to Tokyo, it embodies the French art de vivre — much like the Eiffel Tower, with which it shares its year of birth: 1889. Originally embraced by café owners to furnish their first terraces, the BISTRO chair quickly stood out thanks to its clever folding design — a practical perk at the time, helping them avoid local licensing fees. Holder of the “Simplex” patent, Fermob has continued the legacy of this 100% French-made metal chair, now a true cult classic. With its unmistakable design — seven curved steel slats and a clean, timeless silhouette — the BISTRO chair has kept its charm and authenticity throughout the decades. Available in Fermob’s full range of exclusive colors, this folding chair brightens up spaces from Bryant Park in Manhattan to Plaza de la Constitución in Mexico City — and even your cozy Parisian balcony. Versatile, smart, and lightweight, the BISTRO metal chair fits seamlessly into any setting: in the garden, around a side table, or as a last-minute seat for surprise guests. Don’t have yours yet?
