Chips chair (Lucie Koldová) and Santiago 02 collection of furniture (René Šulc)
Tradition & Innovation. The almost 160-year old technology of bending wood keeps unveiling its vast creative potential and re-conquering the world due to its cooperation with the most outstanding designers. Today, the company TON even exports its collections to as exotic countries as the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean and Tasmania. One of the novelties almost perfectly representing the values of the brand is the Chips chair designed by Lucie Koldová, for which TON received the nomination for the Producer of the Year. This chair, characteristic of extraordinary airiness, premiered at the imm cologne international fair, where it almost instantly became one of the most followed and, simultaneously, most discussed items present at the entire exhibition. The 2018 Czech Grand Design Academy, among other things, acknowledged the creative way of employing the traditional technology and its contemporary interpretation. In short, Chips invites a very modern and timeless impression even though the applied technology has not nearly changed since the times of Michael Thonet. Who knows? Maybe there comes a time when people will fish for Chips around grand-grandmothers' attics, as they do today for the bent- wood chairs from the Franz Joseph era...
