Although I've seen these chairs in cafes and coffee shops, it wasn't until learning about the design of Eggshell Bistro that my interest was really peaked and now I'm slightly obsessed. The chair was designed in 1934 by a Frenchman named Xavier Pauchard. In 1907, Pauchard discovered he could prevent sheet metal
from rusting by galvanizing it. Shortly after, he began making steel
household goods, eventually registering his trademark as Tolix, which
is the name of the company to this day.
The chairs were originally designed to be all-weather outdoor chairs,
but can be found in private homes and public spaces indoors and out. The company was family owned until 2004. The Tolix chair
is in the MoMA, the Pompidou Centre in
Paris and the Vitra design collection in Weil am Rhein, Germany.
They are versatile, durable, stackable and comfortable. Antiquaire offers them in any color. The cost is about $275 each with vintage costing more. Knock-offs are available for about $135.
Would love a set of these for my kitchen!

These are terrific. I have four vintage in my formal dining room and we love the mix! Guests always remark on them.
