café chair

Price range: R2 860 through R3 510

The Café Chair is the quintessential chair of this genre of folding outdoor furniture.

Its origins can be traced to the Simplex Chair, by Edouard Leclerc, produced in 1889, the year the Eiffel Tower was erected. Designed to meet the needs of the French lemonade sellers of the 19th Century, who required a folding chair that could easily be packed away to avoid seating tax by the authorities.

Rudimentary and robust, the chair captures the spirit of simple seating at busy cafés in town squares and small home courtyards. The Café Chair sports a steam-bent wooden backrest and a slatted wooden seat. The folding metal frame facilitates economical storage when not in use. 

A perfect companion to the Metal or Timber Café table. the steam-bent wooden backrest provides the comfort required of a commercial seat.

PLEASE NOTE: the Café Chair is unsuitable for small children.

Design – 19th C European.
