Tip Ton

Tip Ton defines a whole new chair typology: the solid plastic chair with a forward-tilt action. Its name refers to the characteristic dual sitting postures – from a normal position, Tip Ton can be tipped forwards a few degrees, where the chair then stays in place. The forward-tilt position, until now the preserve of mechanical office chairs, straightens the pelvis and spine and thus improves circulation to the abdominal and back muscles.

In a 2010 study, ETH Zurich – one of the world’s leading universities of applied sciences – investigated the health benefits of a forward-leaning sitting position. The results confirmed increased muscle activity in the abdominal and back areas, which boosts the supply of oxygen to all parts of the body. Tip Ton makes all of this possible for the first time ever in the form of an economical and robust plastic chair, thereby opening up many new areas of use.

In addition to Tip Ton in the polypropylene version, there is now also Tip Ton RE, which is made out of recycled polypropylene. Both models are manufactured from a single mould and have no mechanical components, making them extremely durable and 100% recyclable. Tip Ton and Tip Ton RE can be stacked up to four chairs high. Tip Ton comes in a choice of different colours; Tip Ton RE is exclusively available in grey.
