French Bistro
The use of wicker furniture really took off in the 1920’s on the streets of Paris. Even today, the city of Paris is synonymous with the Eiffel Tower, exquisite food + streetside cafés with bistro tables + wicker chairs.
On a visit to Paris during the early 90’s Beaufurn’s founder, Bill Bongaerts had a hunch that these beautiful woven chairs would be a big hit in the United States + he was right! In 1998 Beaufurn started business with a line of hand-woven bistro chairs that proved wildly successful in the hospitality industry. Our French Bistro® Collection of chairs + barstools continues to be popular with our buyers + remains a large part of our business to this day.
The French Bistro® Collection. Inspired by the sidewalk cafés of Paris – brought to America by Beaufurn.
