Bistro Table and Chair of FERMOB

The original since 1889
The first folding tables and chairs appeared at the end of the 19th century. They were simple and easy to store away… and this new type of furniture enjoyed instant success. It was a huge hit with lemonade-sellers, who could use folding furniture to avoid having to pay for a permanent, fixed terrace.
Soon, this legendary chair could be found everywhere… in the bistros of Paris and in the open-air cafés along the Marne and Seine rivers.
Fermob developed its Bistro range based on the original “Simplex” model detailed in the patent registered in 1889. The Bistro range has since become an emblematic trademark of French manufacturing.
“Bistro” continues to delight customers today, with a choice of 24 metal colours and 10 table formats. Its typically French style has won over Times Square, Bryant Park… and even Louis Vuitton.
