bistro chair

Sidewalk dining furniture

A bistro chair is a lightweight, compact chair designed for small café tables, typically featuring a round seat, curved back, and metal frame.

The classic form, with woven rattan or cane seats, originated in Parisian sidewalk cafés: They set out bistro chairs on the patio each morning.

The style has become popular for home patios and small dining spaces.
