Today, however, with the advancements in the production processes and technologies utilized allow us to reimagine this iconic model. Make no mistake – our Tolix premium reproductions are indistinguishable from the original, but are made using contemporary industrial techniques which eliminate excess material and significantly reduce the production costs.
