PERSONA GRATA

A modern Vintage taste, for this boutique gallery in which objects are displayed. There are enough reasons for you to linger, and navigate from surprises to discoveries. First of all, the industrial furniture represented by stools and other products of galvanized sheet metal of Tolix brand - and its icon, the "A Chair". A reference brand in the industrial aesthetic, Tolix helped the 20th century design to make a big step ahead. It was Xavier Pauchard, a French designer who was, in 1934, the first to use the sheet metal to produce in series the famous "A Chair", which entered since then in the Modern Art Museum of New York and in Centre Pompidou. Emblematic of the 30-50s, the Tolix metal furniture became a classic of design. As a proof, in 2006, Tolix received the "Entreprise du patrimoine vivant" label given by the Ministry of Economy, Finances and Industry. Since the 2000s, Tolix had recourse to a new wave of designers: Normal Studio, Chantal Andriot, Sébastien Bergne, giving him a communicative energy... The new Tolix collections are the today's industrial design and already experience the same welcome as the anthology products of the brand like the A chair, the A56 armchair or the H stool. Apart from the Tolix products, we can find at Persona Grata objects with diverse designs as the doorstops in gold ingot of Arik Levy or ball leather coat hanger (Eno edition). The luminaries are particularly surprising, as these Yoya lamps that are reminiscent of flying saucers, or the cellar table models, shaped in funny unexplored planets. Another curiosity: the projected cubic clock that displays the time on 50cm or on 1m50. Guaranteed effect. The house also opens its online shop, but this is where the problem lies: delivery costs are fixed, which is not necessarily advantageous depending on the size and weight of the article...
