Tolix Stool H 80 High Backrest - Raw Steel Varnished Designed by Xavier Pauchard

Xavier Pauchard (1880-1948) was an enterprising and visionary French entrepreneur, founder in 1927 of the Tolix brand and author of the A Chair, the chair symbol of industrial design. Pauchard was one of the pioneers of galvanization in France: at the base of his work there was the realization of metal objects for domestic use coated with another metal in order to protect it from corrosion. The different models of chairs, armchairs, stools and metal furniture (rust-proof, sturdy and stackable) conceived by Xavier Pauchard found a place directly inside factories, offices and hospitals, as well as outside, on the terraces of cafes and parks public.
