PHOENIX Nouveau Classic Cafe Chairs – Lot of 4

A cafe or coffee shop is not just all coffee and bread, it’s the overall presentation. From the shop’s interior design to the cafe chairs and glassware used, everything is carefully planned to provide the customer that calm, relaxing experience. It’s great to know that every time you sip on your cappuccino or mocha frappe you are being treated to utmost comfort and ease.

Cafe table and chairs follow this tradition. Cafe owners often go out of their way to look for the best-designed and comfortable chairs and tables, completing that quintessential cafe ambiance. Cafe table chairs are meticulously screened and chosen based on their style and functionality.

Do you know that the familiar rounded cafe chair you see inside coffee shops and bistros has a name? It is called the No.14 chair, and it is specially designed for these establishments. The No.14 chairs, also known as 214 chairs, are made by Thonet, a company that designs cafe chairs and tables. Though many think they are French cafe chairs, they are actually Austrian-made. They were designed by the company’s founder, Michael Thonet, during the late 1800s, but are still being manufactured and distributed today.

The No. 14 chair is crafted in a classic elegant design. The circular seat is supported by four sleek legs, while the back is rounded and adjusted to support a person’s natural curves. A palm/cane weave is used as the seat’s cushion, which allows any liquid spilled to drain easily. This design has been a trademark of the company and has, since its debut during the 1800s, received numerous accolades and awards.

If the design of these cafe chairs is not impressive enough, then maybe the simplicity of the chairs’ craftsmanship is. The no. 14 chair consists of only eight pieces of wood, two nuts, and ten screws. Beechwood is used primarily as material. They are heated to around a hundred degrees Centigrade, allowing the slats to bend, and then drying the slats at around 70 degrees. The manufacturing of these chairs is so simple that even unskilled workers can assemble them within a few minutes.

The No.14 chair has been made and distributed millions of times to coffee shops and bistros worldwide.

If you frequent coffee shops there’s a good chance you may have sat on one yourself. These cafe chairs have come from a long tradition of dedication and innovation. The next time you visit a coffee shop and see one of these chairs, sit down for a moment, feel the chair’s comfortable presence, and revel in the fact that you’re sitting on a piece of furniture history.

Cafe tables and chairs are designed with the particular space and business requirements of the establishment in mind, meaning that they are distinct in size, style, and dimensions from other forms such as the ones used in homes. Incidentally, though, these chairs and tables are also good choices if maximizing space while adding a touch of elegance in the kitchen, bedroom, or patio is the homeowner’s purpose. These choices are quite functional for home activities like enjoying coffee, reading, or both.

Café chairs and tables are elegant and practical. Their design does much to convey the kind of atmosphere the place is trying to adopt for its patrons. An unpretentious, casual establishment where customers can just take a break with some snacks and a drink will most probably benefit from table and chair combinations that are less fancy or decorative but comfortable and light enough to be adjusted or moved around to fit people’s positions inside the place. A modern café in the middle of a business district, on the other hand, will probably have a typical steel, glass, and black leather design accented effectively by similar chairs, bar stools and tables.

There are two particular types of café chairs that are worthy of consideration.

French café chairs are ornate, handcrafted chairs originally found in French bistros and sidewalk cafes, hence, the name. These chairs stand out from other forms as they are constructed from rattan, a popular type of wood for handicrafts and furniture. The seat surfaces and sidings are usually woven from Rilsan, giving these chairs a colorful, inviting look as well as durability. For the patron sitting on a chair like this inside a café, this translates to stylishness and comfort.

A metal café chair, meanwhile, is ideal not only in producing a certain ambience but also in making the most out of the given space in a café, restaurant, trendy diner, or any similar business. This chair is compact, as can be expected from the material from which it is constructed, but at the same time, it is durable enough to withstand consistent use. Because of its lack of bulk, it saves space in any cafe. It might look and feel somewhat rigid and unwieldy, but it is mostly light enough to be moved around. This is a good feature for chairs to have in crowded establishments.

A café chair can do much to make your place of business stand out among the daily crowd seeking a cozy place to duck into and linger, away from the demands of the day. While this may not be apparent to the casual observer, you as the café owner know better. As you can see, cafe chairs can be a great investment.
