The One and Only A Chair by TOLIX: The Original, an icon of French design. Designed by Xavier Pauchard in 1935, and perfected in 1956 by Jean Pauchard, his son, this metal chair has had several lives and several identities. Originally galvanized and rough, it has calmed down over the years and taken on more contemporary colors since the early 2000s. Through its lines, functionality, and durability, it has been recognized and adopted worldwide. Even a little too much. Even by counterfeiters. For almost a century, each A chair that has left the TOLIX workshops has been handcrafted by craftsmen who pass on their artisanal know-how, made of stamping, bending, brazing, and polishing. These unique gestures, which have earned TOLIX its recognition as a Living Heritage Company, give our products a unique quality and an extra touch of soul. So if you want to acquire a piece of French industrial heritage, don't hesitate any longer and buy the Original in a galvanized finish, enhanced with varnish, for longevity and versatility in all circumstances.

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.
