Tolix® Marais A56 Armchair
get it in mint green (or white) here
$157.50
(originally $525)
I was already a fan of the classic Tolix® Marais/Marais Armchair. There's something simply chic about it. The perforated-metal update, in addition to the new colors, really caught my eye when I saw it in the Design Within Reach catalog.
But the price. Oh, the price.
$525. Plus tax. Plus shipping. I just couldn't justify it.
And then, about 4 weeks ago, while I was pursuing DWR.com's sale section (because there are usually a few things within my reach there) this little guy moved from my "want" list to my "have" list (twice). I saw that these were on sale and picked up 2 for myself, in mint green.
They're small and there's an element of transparency to them that I really like, especially on the small balcony where I put them. Being able to see through them to a certain degree opens up the field of view on my balcony; something I was concerned I would lose by putting any kind of outdoor furniture on a fairly shallow, fairly enclosed balcony.
