Things I Love: Tolix Chairs April 20, 2012
Ever since Arcadian Lighting wrote a guest post on industrial accents, I have been HOOKED. I have been desperately trying to add a touch of industrial to our home in any way I can!
The one picture that really stuck out to me was this one….
Those gorgeous metal chairs are called Tolix chairs. They are a designed by a company called Tolix based in France since the 1930s. While they are known for being in French cafes and bistros, they are now adding a big of ruggedness to homes! And the good news? We can now get them stateside!
In case that top picture didn’t convince you of their awesomeness, here are some swoon-worthy photos:
*DROOL.* I have decided I NEED these chairs for our home. Not want, NEED. Like…my life may depend on it. Okay, I might be overexaggerating…but how amazing are they?! So, because you are obviously reading this because you share similar interests as me, I have compiled a list of stores where you can purchase them if it’s your hearts desire. You’re welcome. And also? Help me decide which ones to by for myself. Because I’m having a reeeeeeally hard time deciding.
Option #1: Garden Side Chair – 33.5″Hx18″W, Brshd Aluminum by Home Decorators Collection $99
Option #2: World Market Jackson Tub Chair $109
Option #3: Overstock.com Tabouret Silver Stacking Chairs set of 4, $204.99
Options #4: Industry West Marais A Side Chair $145
I have my heart set on one in particular, but I’d love to hear your favorite options π Leave me a comment and help me decide!
Do you have Tolix-inspired chairs in your home? Tell me where ya got ’em!
Happy Friday!
I love option 2, love love love it!
Option 2 is my favorite! π Might have to snag two for the ends of my table!
The World Market option #2, might have to go and check those out online.
I agree π I love them!
Oh I vote for option #2 so so hard. Perfection albeit a little pricey. Investment right? π
#2 is my favorite!!! But yes, total investment! Or at least that’s what I will tell my husband. π
I say #3 — bang for the buck!! — easier way to get the hubby onboard too!
I love them all but really like #1 and #2. π
#2! Dirty looking! Lovely!
I live option #2 & option #3!!!
I just saw that Home Decorators has ivory colored ones for $69 with free shipping. They’d look very cool once distressed a bit. But Option #2 is very cool!
