The classic Tolix chair design has been around since the s and designed by a Frenchman, Xavier Pauchard. His understanding of industrial design merged with a sense of practicality to create a product of exceptional quality.
Today, the guiding principles of style and durability that marks a Tolix chair live on in our commitment to quality at chairforce.com.au.
Chances are, you have sat on a Tolix chair at your favourite bar or restaurant, at home or abroad.
The US Army trusted Tolix chairs in world war II, and shortly after they are commonplace in cafes and restaurants, offices, hospitals, auditoriums and outdoor activity centres.
Tolix chairs are a staple in designer kitchens and have been featured in interior design magazines all over the world for over 60 years.
Xavier Pauchard, a sheet metal worker by trade, set out to make chairs that would withstand the elements while appealing to shop and restaurant owners as an aesthetic addition to their businesses.
'Chaise A' made its appearance in the mid-Thirties, and, with a few amendments, 'Monsieur X', as Pauchard came to be known, had refined the prototype to create the stackable chair that we now know as a Tolix chair.
Apart from providing restaurant and cafe business owners with durable, balanced, attractive cafe chairs furniture, he'd found a ready solution for a real dilemma. Nowadays, Tolix is associated with ease of use and durability.
The Tolix 'Chaise A', which is its original chair design, and the 'Fauteuil D', the signature stool, have stood the test of time as examples of classic timeless design to suit any space.
A Tolix chair features the holes in the seat and the 'X' design is the reinforcing framework for the seat of the chair, hence Pauchard's nickname. Tolix chairs are easy to clean and maintain, and it is possible to stack 25 chairs in a single column. That's a large part of their appeal for public areas and your patio area, alike.
What you have as a result is a sturdy, steady frame. In Pauchard's time, 100 manual processes were undertaken in the manufacturing of a single chair. Xavier Pauchard never got round to patenting his designs, an oversight that wasn't uncommon at the time.
The Tolix factory has remained active in France; despite ups and downs, the Tolix design has been reproduced worldwide for decades.
Even though good design never fails, replicas that do not stay true to using the best materials do not stand up to the test of time in busy food venues.
An original Tolix chair can set you back triple what you'd be prepared to pay to have your space enhanced, depending on where you shop. That's what sets Chairforce apart from other retailers.
We focus on the highest quality products, made to last in busy restaurant environments, at the lowest price possible.

Trent Furniture's perennially popular Bella Chair is inspired by a true furniture icon, the Tolix chair, which combines durable practicality with timeless French industrial metal style.
The original Tolix chair was designed by Xavier Pauchard in . Pauchard's father and grandfather were zinc roofers, and it was through his metal-related expertise that in Pauchard discovered it was possible to protect sheet metal from rusting either by dipping it in molten zinc or galvanising it.
Ten years after making this discovery, Pauchard set up his own factory manufacturing steel household goods under the brand name Tolix, which is still operational today. The Tolix chair, which was known as the Model A, was designed for indoor use as well as all-weather outdoor use, which is why it features holes in the seats for the rain to drain off. However, despite its instant appeal among café and bistro owners across France, they complained that the chairs were impractical as they wouldn't stack properly. Taking this feedback on board, a slimmer-framed, stackable Tolix chair which could be stacked 25 chairs high to 2.3 metres, was launched in . The chair's popularity went from strength to strength, being used in factories, hospitals and offices as well as hospitality settings.
Since then, the Tolix chair has become a worldwide favourite in restaurants, bars and homes thanks to its hardwearing retro chic. Indeed, such is the iconic status of the design that examples are on display in New York's Museum of Modern Art and Paris's Pompidou Centre.
Today, Tolix chairs, which are still manufactured from rugged steel, are available from around £200. While this is a great opportunity to own an original piece of design for those with money to burn or for collectors of fine furniture, it is not a practical or affordable option for the hospitality industry. Luckily, there are plenty Tolix-inspired options available, including our hugely popular Bella range.
Our range of Bella Chairs are manufactured from high-quality steel and are precision welded to guarantee the durability needed for the demands of the hospitality environment. Fitted with rubber feet to protect flooring and facilitate smooth gliding across all surfaces, our Bella chairs can be stacked up to ten high, making them easy to store or move.
As well as its retro industrial style, the Bella Chair is a popular choice because of its versatility. Available in black, blue, mint green, orange, red, silver, white and yellow, there is an option for every colour scheme. Alternatively, the Bella Chair with Wooden Seat and the Bella Chair with Upholstered Seat are both great options for indoor use in your restaurant, café or bar and the Bella Tall Stool is the perfect partner for bars and poseur tables. Another great benefit of the Bella Chair is its versatility when mixing with different tables such as our contemporary Chrome Pyramid Table or more traditional Shaker Table.
