Many people associate Ton primarily with iconic chairs and tables. But we know
that the beauty of wood is not limited to large pieces of furniture. Even a
small accessory can carry the same emphasis on craftsmanship, quality and
sustainability. Our Logs coat rack is just such a piece, proving that even
scraps can make a design gem.
A new classic designed with emotion by Patrick Norguet
Czech bentwood furniture manufacturer Ton is launching its new Cissy lounge
chair. Designed by French designer Patrick Norguet, it combines comfort, a
striking silhouette and the traditional craftsmanship for which the brand
is known.
French designer Patrick Norguet has built a career collaborating with
world-class brands and creating pieces that have found their way into museums
and private collections. For Ton, he has designed Cissy – a lounge chair that
reflects both heritage and softness. In this interview he explains how it came
to life.
This year, Ton is doubling up:
Step inside the Next Place Hotel at Autofficina Fiorentini and discover the
future of hospitality. Curated by Giulio Cappellini in collaboration with
Medelhan and Luca Fois, this visionary space showcases new design excellence.
On this occasion, we are thrilled to present our latest 2025 collection piece,
designed by Patrick Norguet.
In the 1990s, one of our employees carried the iconic Ton 14 chair to the
summit of Mont Blanc as a symbol of respect for tradition. Now, 34 years later,
the story repeats itself, but with a new icon – the 314 chair.
Chair No.14, which has now been featured in Ton’s logo for twenty years, was
the unifying element behind Ton’s presentation at the Salone del Mobile
event. The stand in prestigious Hall 09 D0204 featured Chair No. 14, dressed
for the future by Swedish designers Claesson Koivisto Rune, as well as its
artistic variant in the ʻOde to the Fourteenʼ, an artefact by Czech designer
Jiří Krejčiřík.
The prestigious EDIDA 2025 (ELLE Decoration International Design Award) has
announced its nominees – and Ton is twice among them! The iconic chair
314 by Claesson Koivisto Rune and Ode to Chair 14 by Jiří Krejčřík have
made it to the final.
After twenty years, we have decided to change our visual identity. There will be
several new elements: firstly, the company name will no longer be written all in
capitals. The logo has also shed the famous Number 14 chair, the symbol of
bentwood furniture which, however, invokes only part of our product portfolio.
The logo’s new focal point is the detail on the circular central
letter “o”.
