From the bistro table of yesteryear to the Ardamez bistro table
The bistro table is a product steeped in history! An icon of the Art Deco era, it has graced Parisian cafés and their terraces for decades, and has been the stuff of dreams the world over. Dressed in these little round tables facing the street, the establishments evoked, in a single glance, relaxation, idleness and convivial moments spent with friends, savouring delicious croissants and watching passers-by stroll from shop to shop. These bistro tables have become essential elements of French design, and, like the Eiffel Tower and the baguette, are one of the great symbols of the French Touch. So, while new trends imported from overseas are emerging here and there, the whole world continues to have a real love affair with the signatures of French design, with furniture, materials, colours and, in general, a decor that straddles the border between the modern and the traditional. between art deco, baroque and Haussmannian. This taste for French tradition and elegance is often brought into private homes in small ways, for example by opting for a small bistro table with a marble finish in a sober living room, or a vintage dining room table with a gold frame to enhance the tones of a loft with a warm, woodsy atmosphere. warm, woodsy ambience. But the art deco trend is also regularly seen in a total look, particularly among restaurant professionals, who dress up their dining rooms with vintage lighting straight out of the 1920s, tapestries with baroque geometries and, of course, square bistro tables, small round bistro tables or large rectangular vintage tables. In this way, they offer their customers a total immersion in Parisian heritage, a gourmet experience for the taste buds as well as the eyes, who will delight in the friendly and sophisticated atmosphere throughout the meal. sophisticated atmosphere. Motivated by the public’s growing enthusiasm for the combination of modernity and vintage, Ardamez has revisited this traditional piece of furniture and produced it in its French workshops in many variations, to suit all tastes and spaces.
A vintage design for every setting
Reproducing the Parisian atmosphere of the cafés of yesteryear is very much in vogue with the return in force of the bistro style. This timeless decor, featuring furniture that is above all practical and a touch retro, creates a convivial atmosphere where you can enjoy meeting up with friends over a glass of wine or the famous coffee and croissant combo. While Ardamez’s iconic bistro table is the perfect answer to this trend, we’ve also diversified by offering a wide range of materials and finishes to suit every style of decor. The intense marble of our Hausmann line, the deep colours of the ultra-customisable enamel of our Tradition line, or the precious wood nuances of our Vendôme line – all these noble materials will help you create the table that’s right for your decorating project.
A customised service
We know only too well that the art deco aesthetic of the bistro table, with its baroque curves and moulded details, has a way of inspiring creative minds. That’s why we’ve set up a workshop dedicated to creating unique, made-to-measure tables for professionals. Architects and interior designers can call on our teams to bring their projects to life, whether they’re classic with a twist, or simply grandiloquent. Do you want to create a new harmony, a design with no limits? Are you dreaming of an original table format or a personalised motif that’s sure to impress? Perhaps you have a particular design challenge that requires ingenuity and flexibility? With Ardamez, your dream is within reach.
Round or square tables, our formats adapt to all uses
Ardamez bistro tables are perfectly suited to professional use. In fact, our teams have worked hard to come up with design tables that are as elegant as they are practical and hard-wearing. This starts with the choice of materials, which we select for their robustness. When it comes to table tops, we offer marble-effect ceramic and enamel ranges. These solid materials stand up to multiple table dressings without being scratched, making them the perfect allies for restaurateurs and hoteliers. Following the same principle, our cast-iron table legs are stable and adjustable, thanks to adjustable glides on the underside of the leg. Owners of cafés or restaurants with terraces will also appreciate our folding table models, which make it quick and easy to store a terrace with several place settings. Our bistro tables are also perfect for brightening up private homes. Whether you choose them as kitchen tables, garden tables or dining room tables, our range of sizes and heights will suit every room and space in your home. If you’re looking for a top-of-the-range vintage design for your home or garden, take a look at our wide selection of bistro-style tables in our e-shop.
French manufacturing and short distribution channels
Offering you a top-of-the-range product and a great deal of freedom in carrying out your projects was our primary objective from the outset of our great adventure. To achieve this, we decided to centralise all our activities and give priority to short distribution channels. Each of our tables is made entirely in France, in our workshops. As for the materials, most of them come from France. This is the case for wood and enamel, for example. And when the raw materials needed for our designs are not readily available in France, we turn to neighbouring countries. Our ceramics, for example, are ordered from Italy and Spain. This is an important decision, which also stems from our desire to reduce our ecological footprint. Because, unfortunately, we are not perfect, we work every day to improve our manufacturing processes and our choice of materials to offer you ever more sustainable and responsible products.
Our expertise
In both technique and aesthetics, our craftsmanship is an ode to the past, turned towards the future
French craftsmanship
Our craftsmen meet every day in our workshop, tucked away on the banks of the Erdre, to create custom-made tables adapted to your projects. From welding to polishing, through rolling the strapping, many stages follow one another, using sophisticated techniques, some ancestral, some innovative.
A quest for excellence
Before reaching you, each table benefits not only from the traditional know-how we have inherited, but also from some manufacturing secrets we have developed over the years. These confidential techniques perfect our designs, but also the durability of our products, whose quality is so far unrivaled.
A secret being a secret… We cannot disclose any more, but we would be delighted to tell you about our crafts, with an insight into our ancestral techniques!
The strapping
The heart of our craftsmanship
In brass, stainless steel or copper, it’s no wonder the strapping is the emblematic finish of the bistro table.
Beyond the prestige it bestows on our products, its role is essential for their durability. It ensures a good hold of the different elements constituting our tops and protects the tables in case of impact and knocks.
Hand-sealed, our strapping fits perfectly on the tops of our tables and gives them that elegant, retro touch that you just can’t resist.
All you have to do is to choose your favorite finish: moulded for a traditional look, smooth polished for a trendy mirror effect or brushed for a vintage look!
Woodworking
At the core of your table top
The core of our trays is made of high quality poplar wood, protected by a natural wood stain. This choice of materials allows us to have CARB certification, a label that guarantees formaldehyde-free manufacturing. This way, we protect your health as well as the people who make your furniture.
Welding & Grinding
Precision work
To ensure a durable table top with a premium finish, our strapping and frames are hand-welded and then ground in 6 passes for an impeccable result. Depending on the shape of your table top, whether it is round or angular, the techniques used will differ but will always be done with the greatest care.
Finishes
the heart is in the details
The final step, the one that will give your table top all its lustre and splendour, is the polishing. Different fabrics, cottons, flannels, are successively used to refine the brightness of the material.
Professional furniture
100% tailored to your needs
We can also create a unique table, just for you. The one that will capture and crystallize the essence of your establishment. The one that, at first sight, will proclaim your uniqueness. Whether you dream of an impressive format to dazzle your visitors, an atypical shape that will catch the eye, a unique colour to match your palette or a customised and branded finish, we will be happy to make your dreams come true.
