Franco Albini Bistro Chair

The Bistro chair is a charming and exclusive wicker chair originally designed in the 1950s by renowned architects, Franco Albini and Franca Helg. Combine with the striking Bistro 2 seater and/or Bistro bench for an eye-catching setting.

The frame of the Bistro 2 seater is handcrafted in rattan whilst the seat is woven with the unique ArtFibre, artificial fibres made from maintenance-free polyethylene that can withstand the sun's UV radiation. The combination of rattan and ArtFibre gives the wicker furniture great strength, flexibility and comfort. This allows it to maintain its shape for years to come. 

The Bistro chair is designed with beautiful curved armrests that provide excellent comfort and support. Bringing an understated glamour to interiors it is perfect for cafes, restaurants, hotels and is also very attractive in the home environment. Designed for indoor use it can also be used on covered patios and verandahs.

The Bistro chair is part of Sika-Designs Affaire-collection which represents a unique selection of charming bistro and cafe furniture.
