What are the criteria for choosing armchairs for a Parisian bistro?
Before furnishing your bistro with armchairs, you need to consider two important selection criteria:
-
Size: when decorating a restaurant or bistro, the size of the armchairs depends on the table and the space they occupy. These armchairs must be placed in a way that facilitates seating without hindering users;
-
Material: bistro armchairs are made from classic and modern materials that offer a certain comfort. Most of these pieces of furniture have a rattan, aluminum, metal, steel, or wood construction.
Thus, you have a choice of many chair models for your
Parisian bistro terraces. However, be sure to choose sturdy and relatively light furniture.
What are the armchair models for Parisian bistros?
Depending on your bistro's decor, you can choose several types of armchairs, namely:
-
Cane rattan armchairs: essential, they are considered the quintessential furniture for Parisian bistros. They are also known for being comfortable, light, stackable, and weather-resistant;
-
Woven resin armchairs: woven resin armchairs are extremely strong and lightweight. They require no special maintenance and last for years without succumbing to outdoor conditions;
-
Stackable armchairs: they offer an effective storage solution in Parisian bistros or cafes. When stacked, these armchairs take up very little space, which maximizes the remaining area.
This list is not exhaustive, as there are many other models in wood or plastic.
Why choose a rattan armchair?
Rattan furniture is made from rattan cane, a natural and very durable material. Since the 19th century, this type of furniture has been very present in Parisian cafes and bistros.
This furniture gradually disappeared with the advent of plastic and metal furniture. However, it is making a big comeback in Parisian spaces thanks to its many advantages, namely:
Comfort
The level of comfort you can enjoy with your rattan chair depends on a number of different factors. As long as the caning is tightly woven and made to high standards, you will get the best possible comfort.
Among the most comfortable rattan furniture, we can mention
rattan benches and
rattan high chairs.
Maintenance
One of the best things about rattan armchairs is their maintenance and cleaning. These seats do not require deep cleaning, so you don't have to spend a lot of time keeping them in good condition.
All you need is a sponge soaked in warm water. You can also use a pressure washer on some inaccessible areas.
Resistance
Rattan is a material that comes from countries where the ambient temperature hovers around 28°C/82°F. Therefore, it has built-in protection against climate and element variations.
