HISTORY

The main personality behind the establishment of the world-famous company producing bent furniture was the ingenious inventor, cabinetmaker and furniture designer, Michael Thonet (1796–1871).

MANUFACTURE

How TON makes it
... from a piece of wood to a designer chair

Timber drying and rods

Squared rods are stored and dried after delivery until the required humidity level is reached. The rods are usually dry enough in three months. This depends on material properties and method of application.

NEW PRODUCTS

NEW SPLIT designed by Arik Levy

„To take the past and bring it to the future was my initial idea. All the products from this family were born from just one idea, the idea of bending – not in the way it is usually used, but to give it a new shape. In this case, the wood is divided into two parts and each part is bent in a different direction. It is a new experience for me, the TON Company and the product itself.”

DESIGNERS

Alexander Gufler
Alex was born in the Italian town of Merano, but works in Vienna. He started his studies at a school for jewellers in the German town of Pforzheim and since 2003 has been  re-orienting himself towards industrial design.
