Fermob bistro chairs are well known specially in France where they originated and where they are just about anywhere there is a bistro table.
The brand name Fermob is synonymous with quality outdoor metal bistro chairs. A quality that is evident in their original forms and exclusive variety of colors. It is the only brand that offers metal folding bistro tables and chairs in such a wide array of vibrant colors, and they add new colors every season.
Bistro table sets must be able to withstand any type of weather, to make sure that their chair will be up to the task Fermob metal chairs are subjected to an 11 levels of rustproofing treatment, followed by 2 paint layers. The paint they use is 100% polyester and fired in a kiln. The exclusive process, that Fermob uses, takes place in some of the most efficient factory in Europe. The result is that all metal chairs are warranted, and are designed to be used in natural elements.
Fermob is also conscious that a chair that is made for natural surroundings should respect nature. All their folding chairs use iron a material that is 95% recyclable. When wood is used it is exclusively from environmentally managed European forests. They also use environmentally safe paint.
The original “Bistro” created by Fermob in 1889 consisted of folding tables and chairs, which were a godsend for bistro terraces that were popping up everywhere near the end of the 19th century. Simple and easy to store, these new tables and chairs helped bistro owners avoid the heavy tax imposed on permanent terraces. This type of outdoor furniture became very popular and has inspired many designers.
It is from this furniture patent obtained in 1889 that Fermob has developed an entire line of folding bistro tables and chairs. Today they take advantage of all the modern technology, but remain replicas of their famous ancestors.
