Tolix UD Rectangular steel and wood dining table

Unveiled in 2023, the TOLIX UD Table is inspired by the esteemed UD collection, a tribute to the University of Dijon.‎ Echoing the design of the UD chair, this masterful piece features an oak tabletop crafted by a cabinetmaker from the Morvan, elevating the realm of interior design.‎ It skillfully combines the sturdiness of steel with the warmth of wood, showcasing timeless elegance.‎ Designed to comfortably seat eight guests, its robust structure and minimalist tabletop epitomize unparalleled functionality.‎ Jean Pauchard, a visionary spirit of his time, would undoubtedly have praised this modern addition, honoring TOLIX's legacy while meeting contemporary tastes.‎ Ideal for discerning interiors, the UD Table transcends mere furniture; it stands as a testament to the renewed French craftsmanship and design.‎ 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.‎
