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.
Each chair in this set of four has a wood frame in a choice of finishes and a woven rattan seat in warm straw, a light, springy surface that breathes and has a little give. A curved top rail crowns two splats crossed to form an open back, and the legs taper and splay outward, braced by arched hoops for a steady stance. The seat sits at a standard dining height, and all four chairs arrive fully assembled, so the table is ready the day they come.
Four chairs round a scrubbed oak table make a kitchen feel like a Paris café: add a wine bottle with a candle, a bowl of bread, and friends who stay late. They are just as good for a slow cup of tea or a weekend breakfast, in a city apartment or a country cottage. Wood and straw is a classic pairing; style it with white tiles, a zinc pendant and striped linen napkins. This listing is for a set of four chairs.
