cafe chair

Sidewalk dining seat

A cafe chair is a lightweight, often stackable chair designed for use in cafes, bistros, and outdoor dining areas.

The classic example is the bentwood Thonet chair or the French bistro chair with its woven rattan seat.

Cafe chairs prioritize portability and durability over cushioned comfort: The waiter stacked the cafe chairs at closing time.
