Bistro Stools
Bistro sets are a wonderful semi-formal type of furniture, elegant enough to enhance a dining room, yet casual enough to make a stunning addition to a patio. The chairs are upright enough for eating, yet comfortable enough to lounge and relax in the evening sun. For a light morning breakfast or a relaxing glass of wine and a romantic dinner in the evening, a bistro set is the perfect choice.
The History of Bistro Stools – Dubious Beginnings
The term ‘Bistro’ hails from France, where Bistros were a small restaurant with outdoor seating. Because of a heavy tax on outdoor seating at restaurants, enterprising bistro owners used light yet sturdy furniture, allowing them to quickly clear the area when tax inspectors visited.
This informal and slightly dubious origin has translated into the modern descendents, with bistro furniture combining French chic with wonderful, simple informality. Mass production allowed these sets to be released onto the mass market, where their low cost and durability allowed the poorest of families to benefit from this practical furniture. Now, bistro stools are available in a range of sizes, from standard folding chairs to taller stools for breakfast bars.
Bistro Furniture and a Multitude of Styles
Traditional bistro sets come in a wide range of styles and types, from wrought iron to the cottage feel of wicker to solid wood, and in a traditional or contemporary style. Some are designed for use indoors, while some others have a sturdy weather-resistant design, able to handle the worst that the elements can throw at them, especially if you remember to treat them with a preservative every year.
From the warm silver of weathered teak, to the warm honey of traditional cottage oak, you can find the perfect bistro stools to complement your patio decking and garden furniture. A well-chosen set of bistro furniture can help you to capture the essence of French café culture and bring it into your home. Whether your kitchen is ultra-modern or rustic, the right bistro furniture makes it welcoming and relaxing.
