Valencia is a timeless collection inspired by the rhythm of a pulsing city. Its practical features will suit the swift tempo of a bistro or cafe, its comfort savoured during long evening meals. The elegant joining of the top of the back legs and the backrest draws attention to TON’s signature wood bending technique. The collection comprises a stackable chair and a barstool in two heights. In addition to the options of solid oak or beech, the chair and the barstool can also be upholstered.
yonoh
Two young Spanish industrial designers - Clara del Portillo and Alex Selma, decided to establish a multidisciplinary studio in 2006. The results of their creative design-work are simple and functional products - from chairs, sofas, lamps, and accessories to outdoor furniture. They have won several international awards for their work, including the Red Dot Design Award, the IF Design Award, and the Good Design and Wallpaper * Design Awards. Because they work together in the studio and complement each other, they decided to name (the studio) Yonoh, which is an ambigram – a text that can be read upside-down; so in itself, it symbolically reflects the personalities of Clara and Alex.
how we make it...
We manually bend our furniture in the same workshops where this technology has been in use since 1861. However, we moved the features of this unique technique further more and mix them with contemporary designers’ thoughts. Our tables and chairs become a connection of quality, innovative shapes and a legacy to the place that has learned to understand the wood for generations.
