This is my favorite chair because it brings up memories of brunches with friends and family, sipping on mimosas, and laughing at jokes. Architectural Digest wrote that this chair, “conjures a specific vision as the iconic bistro chair does of alfresco dining à Paris. Originally designed by Michael Thonet in 1859 and crafted of bentwood and woven cane, the simply styled chair revolutionized the furniture industry. In the 1930s, Thonet’s silhouette was reinforced with a woven seat, giving it its signature contrasting-color weave in either natural or synthetic fiber, and the bentwood frame was wrapped in a coordinating material. Since then, the bistro chair has made appearances in collections from IKEA to Serena & Lily.” LTKfamily LTKstyletip LTKhome
