Tolix Stacking chair Grey/Silver/Metal Metal. Dimensions: W 51 cm × D 46 x
H 85 cm – Seat: H 44 cm. TOLIX comes now on our terraces and balconies in a
new steel material that is perfectly adapted for outdoor use. It is resistant to
corrosion even in difficult conditions (seaside, swimming pool). This 100%
outdoor A chair draws attention to the natural look of metal. It is made of raw
stainless steel sheets with a high-gloss transparent varnish. Having a modern
style of the 1930’s – 1950’s, the A chair, an icon of industrial
aesthetics for almost a century, has made it through all times and styles, and
become a classic in our collective memory. Incredibly popular since 1934, this
chair has even been in collections in Design museum, MoMa and Centre Pompidou.
What an honour and international success of this “living heritage”, which is
an illustration of French art of living! The A chair is solid and extremely
light. It is also stackable and space-saving. Its uncluttered but also practical
look is the key to such success. It was present on the liner Normandie already
in 1935 and on pathways in front of the International Exposition of Arts and
Technology in 1937, and in a number of terraces and café in the fifties before
finally getting into domestic settings. The metal Tolix chair has significantly
marked the history of design. All the credits go to Xavier Pauchard, its
designer, who used metal sheets and zinc for the first time in order to produce
series of furniture, which makes the Tolix chair the first industrial French
chair. Nowadays, the company employs high-performance-machines that are of help
during numeral manual operations. Every single chair is thus unique and has a
Tolix signature. Tolix has certainly deserved the label “Company of living
heritage” from the French Ministry for Economy, Finances and Industry in
2006. Please note this version has visible golden welding points. They are
intended and contribute to the overall aesthetics of the product.
