In appreciation for dealing with all my total downer homesickness and life-pondering lately, here are the contents of my Tolix chair obsession file.
The Marais Chaise designed by Xavier Pauchard in 1934 for his company Tolix is a little bit industrial, a little bit European café culture romanticism and somehow both thoroughly masculine and feminine.
Made of galvanized steel, the Model A chair is lightweight, stackable, and incredibly durable.
It’s no surprise that Tolix chairs have become one of the most recognizable icons of French design.
The entire range of chairs and stools are still manufactured by hand in Autun, Burgundy.
Last year I considered buying some $30 knockoffs on the Bowery, and have certainly been tempted by the fakes on Overstock, but decided instead to hold out for the real thing.
