Designed by Joseph Mathieu and made in Pierre Benite in Lyon . These chairs are an iconic part of Industrial French History. Each chair was hand pressed in huge industrial presses before being hand welded together. The chairs are in their original paint showing wear commensurate with their age. These chairs make an exceptional design statement but are also a good practical scale as a dining chair for regular use. Multipl’s was, in its day the competitor to Tolix, although sadly Multipl’s did not survive. Examples of Multipl’s chairs in this condition are becoming increasingly rare, many that are available do not have the original paint and/or they have been badly restored. We specialise in high quality vintage furniture and only sell the very best chairs in great condition. Seat Height 47cm.
