A Classic Reimagined: The New T14 Chair from Tolix

March 25, 2014

For the fist time in 80 years, venerable French furniture company Tolix has unveiled a new chair design. Created by the firm in collaboration with French designer Patrick Norguet, the Tolix T14 is a thoroughly modern chair that stays true to what Tolix has long stood for: industrial elegance, durability, and comfort. 

The simplicity of the Tolix T14 hides its technically-advanced construction: the shell-shaped seat is crafted from a single piece of very thin but very strong stainless steel. This means a notably light weight and no welds (so less likelihood of corrosion). The chair comes in three models: the Tolix T14 Steel Chair (stainless body, arms, and legs; $395), the Tolix T14 Wood Chair (stainless body and arms with wood legs; $495), and an office-chair variation with castors ($495), all of which are available to order in the US through Antiquaire

(Design Within Reach also sells the classic Tolix Marais A Chair, $250, and Tolix Marais A Armchair, on sale in white for $233.75. And, Antiquaire offers the original Tolix A Chair for $249 in all the available Tolix colors and finishes.)
