Authentic Vintage Tolix A56 Armchairs in Original Paint

This wonderful set of six Tolix Model A metal dining chairs is in excellent condition and features its original lovely dark blue paint with a bit of surface rusting. Originally designed in 1934 by the founder of Tolix, Xavier Pauchard, this chair became a huge hit with bistros in France because of its design and durability (it was the first furniture dipped in molten zinc to withstand rusting). The original Model A chair was modified in 1956 to improve the chairs’ stacking feature, and the original back slat design was changed from a flat panel to one with an embossed design. These chairs with their flat back panel pre-date 1956 and are much more rare than those with an embossed back. Such is the iconic status of the Model A chair that examples are on display in New York’s Museum of Modern Art and Paris’s Pompidou Centre. Model A chairs make an exceptional design statement but are also a good and very comfortable practical choice as dining chairs for regular use. Perfect around a rustic wooden dining table...

This rare set of six French 1940s Multipl’s metal dining chairs is in excellent original condition and features an amazing mottled painted surface of grey, green, red, and blue.

Multipl’s was, in its day, the main competitor to Tolix, although Multipl’s did not survive. Each chair was hand-pressed in huge industrial presses and galvanized before being hand-welded together. They make an exceptional design statement but are also a good and very comfortable practical choice as dining chairs for regular use. Perfect around a rustic wooden dining table...
