TOLIX A Chair by Xavier Pauchard
I believe this is one of the most famous French contributions to chair design, the model A TOLIX by Xavier Pauchard.
The Model A chair has become an icon of industrial esthetics. It’s unfailing popularity since 1934 has enabled to enter the Collections of the Vitra Design Museum, MOMA and the Pompidou Center. This mythical chair, crafted of sheet metal, has been assured by «it’s fool-proof solidity, it’s unequalled lightness, it’s easy maintenance» advantages of which can be included «inexpensive».
All merit goes to Xavier Pauchard (1880-1948) who was a pioneer of galvanisation in France. Shortly after World War 1, based in Autun, Burgundy, he found himself (a visionary and inventive entrepreneur) in charge of a flourishing manufacture of galvanised sheet-metal domesic items, which at the time, embodied household comfort. It was in 1927 that he registered the trademark TOLIX, at the same time converting to the «production of chairs, armchairs, stools and metal furnitures».
The different models (rustproof, robust and stackable) conceived by Xavier Pauchard found their place directly inside factories, offices and hospitals, as well as outside, on cafe terraces and in public parks.

We owe the revival of the brand Tolix to Chantal Andriot. It was with passion and loyality for the company that this, ex Financial Directrice, launched into the adventure, along with a handful of employees, and bought back Tolix. The only woman in a man’s world and with her knowledge she was able to give back a new vitality, in perpetuating the dual standards of quality and innovation to an industry skilled in the making of functional furniture. Today, half of Tolix’s annual turnover is for export, half of which, is for the United States.

Corseted Chair by Aiveen Daly
Via a fellow pinterester, Stacey Sheppard, I found a chair worthy of remembring this day of The Wedding. While everybody was eagerly awaiting Kate to appear in her wedding dress, I instinctively knew the dress would be corseted. And I was right:
Kate wore a lace overlay over her arms and shoulders. She was also predicted to wear a long train, to take advantage of the Abbey’s long aisle; that was also confirmed – the train was two metres 70 centimetres of ivory silk tulle. The dress had a sweet-heart neckline and a tightly corseted waist.

Strip by Fabio Novembre for Casamania – Milan 2011 (17)
Strip by Fabio Novembre for Italian furniture manufacturer Casamania is the asymmetric seat born from a surface that “gently folds into itself, flowing outwards almost like that of a woman’s skirt with a slit running up its profile on one side”.
Produced in polyethylene with rotational moulding, like most of Novembre’s chair designs Strip is suitable for outdoor use and is available in different colors, both in matte and lacquered versions.
