The cross-back café chair has filled French bistros and country kitchens since the late nineteenth century, when steam-bent wood made seating light, strong and cheap enough to crowd a busy dining room. It crossed the Channel early, and the tea rooms and inns of English market towns took to light bentwood chairs as readily as Paris did.
The wood frame, in a choice of finishes, gives this version a crisp, graphic outline, broken only by the warm honey tone of its woven rattan seat, which is light and breathable with a slight give. The top rail curves gently, two splats cross to form an open back, and the four tapered legs splay outward, linked by arched hoops that keep the frame steady. The seat sits at a standard dining height, and it arrives fully assembled.
Line them up along a long trestle table in an open-plan kitchen, or use one beside a hall table as a spot to sit with the mail. It suits a cottage breakfast table and a city apartment alike. The frame and rattan look sharp with white subway tile, a marble-topped bistro table and a vintage poster above. This listing is for one chair.
