Woven bistro chairs give this Bordeaux café terrace concept a light, tactile character. The chair combines a natural teak frame, taupe outdoor rope and a removable cream seat pad. Round teak tables complete a proposed programme of 12 two-person settings.
This design study uses Bordeaux as a reference setting. The quantities and dimensions are proposed specification allowances, not a record of a completed café order.
A small table with enough room to use it
The starting table diameter is approximately 700 mm. That size is a basis for discussion, rather than a fixed recommendation for every café. A coffee-led terrace and a terrace serving full meals need different amounts of tabletop space.
The pedestal base is reviewed with the chair legs in place. Guests should be able to approach the table and reposition their chair without constantly meeting the base. The operator also needs room to pass along the frontage and clean beneath each setting.

Keep the chair comfortable and manageable
A curved upper rail gives the back a continuous outline. Closely spaced rope adds texture without introducing another strong colour. The seat cushion remains shallow so the chair retains a compact profile.
During sampling, review the back support, front seat edge and arm height as well as the visual weave. The rope reference, tension, attachment and replacement method should be written into the approved specification.
Chair weight matters when staff move the terrace each day. This version makes no stacking claim. If stacking is needed, develop and test that configuration separately, including the contact points between frames.
Agree the cleaning and replacement routine
Outdoor seating still needs a care plan. Confirm the cleaning instructions for the rope and fabric, how seat pads are secured, and where cushions will be kept during prolonged rain. Replacement covers should be identifiable from the order reference.
Our article on what to check in rope outdoor furniture explains the material questions to settle before purchasing. Related table and seating directions are available in the outdoor furniture collection.
Questions about the café configuration
Can the woven colour and cushion be changed?
Yes. Review rope and fabric samples together in daylight, then confirm the references on the sample approval sheet. A screen image is useful for direction but should not be the final colour standard.
Can the table be made smaller?
A smaller diameter can be considered after checking the intended menu, tableware and base. Send the usable terrace dimensions so the table footprint and chair positions can be reviewed together.
Specify seating for your café terrace
Send the proposed number of settings, terrace dimensions, menu style and daily handling requirements. Discuss woven café seating with Vectraout to develop the table and chair as one furniture brief.
