Galvanized with Tolix
in a huge industrial coolness of success, look no further than the model of a chair Tolix. Designed in 1934 by the French Xavier Pauchard, it is also known as the Marais A chair, and is made from robust sheet.
Our love story with the chair Tolix sturdy and stackable, which can be used inside and outside, has not diminished over the years. It looks good with any table style, also, whether in its raw galvanized finish or one of a range of colors of the rainbow.

I always liked Harry Bertoia wire chairs for their incredible lightness of the structure and the ability to add tons of style to any kitchen-dining room. Oh, and they are really comfortable to boot.

Interiors aficionados around the world love the delicate-yet-hard design, which comes in black, white, chrome and powder coating colors and ordered, snap-on seat cushions. resistant vinyl carpet and boldly colored powdered versions can also brighten outdoor dining spaces.
