Metal Magic

It's been a while since I've blogged about dining chairs, it seems this blog is always about cosy, armchairs so I wanted to share this one. 

I first saw these classic French cafe chairs in Isabelle Smith's house, which was recently featured in Easy Living. 

Manufactured by Tolix and designed by Xavier Pauchard, they're available from Graham & Green. 

While some might think they're cold and stark, I love their simple style and functionality. 

I think they'd look great around a battered, chunky wooden dining table or, as they are suitable for use outside, use them as your new garden chairs. 

And if the varnished steel isn't the look for you, they're also available in eight colours, including yellow, red, orange and blue.
