Armchair 30, natural beech

TON Armchair 30 shares a similar character with the iconic Chair 14: its softly curved frame and armrests have been crafted from beechwood rods that have been bent by hand. The attractive armchair can be used as a dining chair or individual side chair, and its flowing shape goes perfectly together with the Chair 14. Armchair 30 has been manufactured at the TON furniture factory in the Czech Republic by traditional methods.

TON R&D

TON is a Czech furniture manufacturer whose roots reach back to 1861 when cabinetmaker Michael Thonet founded a bent furniture plant in the town of Bystrice pod Hostýnem. The innovative, high-quality bentwood technique made Thonet’s furniture hugely popular, and by the turn of the 20th century, several hundreds of thousands of items were being manufactured annually. In 1946, the company became a national enterprise, and in 1953, it was renamed as TON (Továrna Ohýbaného Nábytku, ”bent furniture factory”). Since 1994, TON has been a joint stock company. Today, TON combines traditional and modern techniques and aims at creating timeless, ecological furniture that lasts from generation to generation.
