Bent wood where you would not expect it. Inspired by the shape of a tennis racket, the design takes advantage of TON’s signature wood-bending technique and applies it to a form normally seen in metal furniture. A generous arch crafted from solid beech wood embraces a visually light plywood seat with no visible joins. The seat can be upholstered alone or together with the backrest. Precision craftsmanship, solid construction and comfort – all in a stackable design. You are bound to return to this chair again and again.
Beech is one of the best known and most commonly used deciduous trees in furniture making. It is a hard, strong, homogenous wood, well suited for manual wood bending. Beech is light to pinkish light in colour with a less pronounced texture, as there is not a marked difference in the colour of spring and summer wood – the contrast that creates annual growth rings.
In Standard finish, we offer stains that do not affect the wood structure. Most of the shades do not hide the texture. The natural characteristics of beech allow the wood to absorb colour differently, resulting in a surface with light and dark markings. The final look of the product is also influenced by the original wood colour. A colour stain is always finished with a transparent water-based lacquer, which creates a durable, impervious coating that requires minimal maintenance.
The Beech Natural option can also be finished with oil, which is applied to the raw, worked surface.
