My current obsession - the Tolix A Chair


For some reason, now that the dining room is painted (a lovely colour with an uninspiring name - Berkshire Beige!) I am obsessing over furniture that we can't afford. The current object of my affection is the lovely Tolix 1934 A chair, which was originally (supposedly) designed to be used on board a battleship, but were subsequently given to cafes and bars in France by breweries in exchange for stocking their beer. It now epitomises industrial cottage chic, and I really want some. Sadly, they are approaching $230 each. Serious design expenditure.
