Summary:
Comment une petite chaise populaire est devenue aussi populaire? Dans les années 1930, Xavier Pauchard, artisan chaudronnier bourguignon, conçoit sous la marque Tolix toute une gamme de meubles métalliques, dont la cultissime chaise A. Étonnant destin que celui de cette chaise métallique: robuste, empilable et donc utilitaire, elle a équipé les coursives du paquebot Normandie et, pendant plus de cinquante ans, terrasses de cafés, salles des fêtes, hôpitaux, casernes... Relookée en 1986, elle gagne les faveurs des professionnels de la décoration et celles du public, investissant l'univers du nouvel art de vivre, et - consécration suprême - décroche la reconnaissance des historiens de l'art. Tandis que designers et décorateurs succombent à sa patine métallique ou à ses versions customisées, antiquaires et marchands de mobilier du XXe siècle la chinent aux quatre coins de France. Au fil des pages et d'une iconographie riche et soignée (photographies, archives, dessins), les souvenirs ressurgissent et côtoient les hommages de grands spécialistes. Brigitte Durieux nous convie à un voyage inédit, chiné dans le grenier de notre mémoire collective.
