Bistrò is an accent chair for the living room and a designer armchair all in one. Which was Vico Magistretti’s intention all along, with seating more comfortable than a chair, yet less formal than an armchair. The result is an upholstered chair with a unique design, in which to relax with a cup of coffee at a bistro table. Its lines are soft and rounded, with a contrasting veneered wenge backrest. The result is balanced both in its proportions and forms. Extremely comfortable, it’s the perfect solution for hotels, waiting rooms, cafes and, why not, even the home.
