Made entirely of stamped and galvanized sheet metal, it is designed to withstand the elements and be stackable, meeting the needs of café terraces, canteens, and public spaces. Its robustness, minimalist design, and practicality have made it an icon of French utilitarian design. Used in bistros between the two world wars, it can now be found in the collections of the Vitra Design Museum and the Centre Pompidou. A flagship of metal furniture, the Tolix embodies a rare artisanal heritage. The very first version—highly sought after—was notably designed to equip the Normandie ocean liner, meeting fire safety requirements. This piece has an attribution mark,
