Tolix Chaise A56

In 1956 when Jean Pauchard designed the armchair to go with his father’s Chaise A, the first Managing Director of the newly established Tolix Company was creating one of the 20th Centuries classics. Based on the Chaise A, and because it was the year 1956, the chair was called the A56. Half a century later, the Fauteuil A56 (Armchair A56) designed by Jean Pauchard has become one of the most influential pieces of 20th Century metal furniture design.

It looks amazing with modern straight lines, and sits with equal comfort next to old antique pine tables or teak and walnut heavy legged family heirlooms. It is also equally at home as a stand alone bedroom or hallway chair.

The Chair 'A56' is available in the following finishes:

RAW VARNISHED - Price POA

Raw steel with a transparent soft gloss varnish - for Interior Use

The Raw Varnished finish is timeless and gives the chair its industrial quality. This finish most reflects the age of the design and sits comfortably next to all surfaces. The Industrial finish is evidenced in the slight differences in color due to the variations in the original metal sheet. In addition the welds and joins used to assemble the chair can be seen under the varnish.
 

PAINTED - Price $POA

Gloss paint finish - for Interior Use  

The Chair A56 is available in approximately 50 paint colours. The bright glossy finish ranges from the sophistication of whites and creams, to fun reds, yellows, and ... The Painted finish is a great way to add energy and colour to a room.
The chairs are fully painted using a mixed epoxy-polyester thermosetting paint.

GALVANISED VARNISHED - Price $POA

Zinc coated steel with a transparent gloss varnish - for Exterior or Interior Use

Galvanized steel has gone through a chemical process to keep it from corroding or rusting. The steel gets coated in layers of zinc and then a clear varnish is applied.
When steel is submerged in melted zinc, the chemical reaction permanently bonds the zinc to the steel through the processing of galvanizing, and rust won't attack this protective metal.  Zinc also protects the steel by acting as a "sacrificial layer." If, for some reason, rust does take hold on the surface of galvanized steel, the zinc will get corroded first.
 

GALVANISED NON VARNISHED - Price $POA

Zinc coated steel (no varnish) - for Exterior or Interior Use

 

As per the Galvanised Varnished finish except there is no varnish applied.
