The UD Chair by TOLIX is a faithful reinterpretation of Jean Pauchard's 1958 original, created specifically for the University of Dijon and identified by the distinctive 'UD' label. Crafted entirely from steel, it impresses with a streamlined silhouette, featuring a perforated backrest, tubular structure, and slender, curved tubing.Rooted in mid-20th-century traditions, its design seamlessly fits into contemporary interiors, embodying a harmonious blend of history and modernity. Beyond showcasing TOLIX's artisanal expertise, the all-steel UD Chair pays homage to Jean Pauchard's vision, making it an excellent choice for those seeking to introduce an iconic design piece into their space.The first UD chairs were born in 1958, at the initiative of Jean Pauchard for an order from the University of Dijon. They are characterized by a tubular structure, a perforated backrest with three slender and curved tubes, and a seat padded with Formica and faux leather. Other versions will follow, such as the UD2 chair in 1963 with a beechwood seat.The UD chair, characterized by its light and feminine lines, is revisited by Studio Tolix and is accompanied by a table whose delicate curves perfectly complement a steel top that seems to float in suspension. A version with a stained oak top crafted by a Morvan cabinetmaker gives it an even more pronounced character.The UD collection stands out with its deep black-brown paint or its glossy white finish. It integrates perfectly into demanding interiors, offering all-steel or all-wood options to meet preferences for minimalism or warmth. In the future, new material will enrich its seating,thereby enhancing its seductive power.
