Originally designed by Xavier Pauchard for in 1934, our stool is true to the original design that is recognised worldwide. The raw varnished finish is timeless & gives the chair its industrial quality. This finish most reflects the age of the design & sits comfortably next to all surfaces. The 45cm short stool looks great in a bistro's with it's French 1930's design as well as modern cafes & domestic spaces. The industrial finish is evidenced in the slight differences in colour & Also polishing marks due to the variations in the original metal sheet. In addition the welds & joins used to assemble the chair can be seen under the varnish which all adds to the industrial look of the chair. Cult furniture is in no way affiliated with the company Tolix. Our furniture is inspired by the designs of Xavier Pauchard & not to be confused with those which are manufactured & sold by Tolix.
