The French have produced some iconic chair designs in the course of the 20th century: think about Tolix and Thonet. 
 
Another icon of the past century is the Baumann chair, which was produced in the little town of Colombier-Fontaine in the Franche-Comté Region (Eastern part of France). 
 
We have found this bentwood example with armrests and upholstered in beautiful duck blue velvet: perfect as a desk chair!
