I reinterpreted the famous cafés folding chairs, giving it the typical Parisian look. A gentle evolution endowed with a feminine evocative personality.

The round café table and chairs collection takes inspiration from the iconic Parisian café culture, evoking the charm and elegance of Parisian streets where timeless design and minimalist style reign supreme. Drawing a nod to the City of Lights, this collection combines the allure of classic Parisian bistro chairs with a modern twist, creating a look that is both familiar and fresh. The subtle, ethereal quality of the design captures the essence of Paris, where café terraces are filled with people sipping coffee, enjoying conversation, and savoring the beauty of their surroundings.

The Paris collection extends beyond just the table and chairs. It's a complete line where colored metal meets the vibrant hues of the city. The color palette take his inspiration to the Paris sign street with the : deep navy, off white and olive green.

The Legacy of Parisian Café Culture

Paris street sign inspiration

Genesis


I wanted to design a chair that would represent a part of me, the city where I was born and where I grew up.
I drew my inspiration from a discreet but essential symbol, which has always guided my steps :
The Parisian street signs!

Bistro folding chairs

The chairs are reinterpreted from the traditional folding bistro chairs that are synonymous with Parisian sidewalk cafés, but with a contemporary edge.

The use of a single metal plate for both the backrest and seat creates a sleek, seamless design that adds a touch of modernity while still maintaining the vintage charm of the original. Each chair is meticulously crafted and assembled with rivets at every corner, ensuring durability and stability while highlighting the craftsmanship and attention to detail that is integral to Parisian style. This design also emphasizes the beauty of simplicity, with no unnecessary embellishments, making it a piece that can blend into any setting with effortless grace.

"Paris" also provides ergonomic value : it is light and easy to move, due to its integrated handle evoking the city's famous blue and green street signs.
