About Tolix
Xavier Pauchard was born in 1880 in Le Morvan, known as the green heart of France. Unsurprisingly wood was the most important construction material but despite that, he and his father and grandfather before him were zinc roofers. In 1907, Pauchard discovered that he could protect sheet metal from rusting by dipping it in molten zinc, or galvanising it. Ten years later, he set up a factory making steel household items and eventually registered his trademark symbol as Tolix, by which name the company is still known.

That classic chair, a favourite of cafés and retro kitchens all over the world, was designed in 1934. It was meant to be outside in all weathers, which is why there are holes in the seats – to allow the rain to drain off. But café owners were quick to complain that the chairs wouldn't stack properly and Pauchard had to tweak his design. By 1956, the classic Tolix was finally created. With its slimmer frame, you could now stack 25 chairs to a height of 2.3 metres.
They were immediately popular, not just in cafés, where right up until the 1970s they were often given out by breweries in return for the owner stocking their brand, but also in factories, offices and hospitals. By the end of the 1950s, the factory had about 80 workers and produced some 60,000 units annually. The company remained in the family until 2004. Now, the chair is part of the collections of the MoMA in New York, the Pompidou Centre in Paris and the Vitra design collection in Weil am Rhein in Germany.

Our collection of Tolix chairs represents a piece of design history that is as functional and beautiful today as it was more than 80 years ago. Far from going out of style, these chairs have seemed to transcend style with their timeless French industrial-chic look.It was back in 1907 when a young French roofer from Burgundy, Xavier Pauchard, discovered that he could protect sheet metal from rust by dipping it in molten zinc. The process of galvanizing was born. Years later, he developed his original Tolix chair to be outside in all types of weather, which is why there are holes in the seats – to allow water to drop through.Pauchard’s first iteration of the Tolix A Side Chair could soon be found on the Normandie ocean liner, as well as lining French café patios and equipping hospitals. These durable, stackable chairs were even the choice of US naval forces in World War II, before making their way into countless private homes.Today, we’re delighted that these classic Tolix chairs are still manufactured by hand in Burgundy. Even the original galvanizing vat remains in use.As with all Tolix furniture, the A Side Chair has become an icon in today's design world. The internationally revered chair has been around since the 1930s and is part of collections at museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Pompidou Centre in Paris and the Vitra Design Collection in Weil am Rhen in Germany.Explore our complete collection of Tolix chairs here
