[02]Description

The One and Only Chair A by TOLIX: The Original, an icon of French design. Conceived by Xavier Pauchard in 1935 and perfected in 1956 by his son, Jean Pauchard, this metal chair has had several lives and identities. Originally galvanized and rugged, it softened over the years and adopted more contemporary colors in the early 2000s. Through its lines, functionality, and durability, it has gained worldwide recognition and adoption. Perhaps a bit too much - even by counterfeiters. For nearly a century, every Chair A that has come out of the TOLIX workshops has been handcrafted by artisans passing down traditional skills, involving stamping, bending, brazing, and polishing. These unique techniques, which earned TOLIX the recognition of "Living Heritage Company," give our products a unique quality and an extra soul. So, if you wish to acquire a piece of French industrial heritage, don't hesitate—buy the Original.

[06]Designer

Xavier Pauchard, born in 1880 in Burgundy, embodies creative genius and a deep passion for metal. As the son of a roofer-tinsmith and the grandson of a coppersmith, he was destined to work with this material. In 1927, this visionary Burgundian founded the 'TOLIX' manufacturing company and introduced a revolution in France: hot-dip galvanization, a process that ensures the durability of metal and prevents rust by bathing it in molten zinc. Under his leadership, the iconic Chair A was born, a symbol of craftsmanship and industrial design. This chair, made from a single folded sheet of metal, was quickly embraced by French cafes and institutions, bearing witness to TOLIX's innovation and craftsmanship. But Pauchard didn't stop there. His company produced a diverse range of furniture that was both elegant, functional, and robust, each bearing the mark of his boldness and ingenuity. Through his creations, Xavier Pauchard not only shaped the history of French industrial design but also left an indelible legacy for future generations. His influence endures, and his genius lives on through every piece from the TOLIX Manufacturing.
