TON at imm cologne

Moon, Hexagon and Trapez are three new products prepared by TON for the upcoming IMM Trade-fair in Cologne.

Designed by Michal Riabič, the Moon set includes a chair and an armchair with an unobtrusive design, which however place great emphasis on ergonomics from the very beginning of the development process, thereby providing seating comfort. Both variants of the model are fully-upholstered and made of solid wood. Regarding these seats their conservative forms are revived through the interesting solution of the armrests, which grow out of the rear of the seating’s construction.

The heart of the Hexagon table, designed by Yonoh, with its central pedestal, is composed of a cast-iron hexagonal base, finished in black. “It is inspired by industrial elements of the Nineteen-eighties that our design seeks to shift to a contemporary design concept,” explained Clara del Portillo from the Yonoh creative duo. The central tube enables Hexagon to assume two heights – that of a classical dining room as well as bar-height. Customers can then play with the materials and shapes of the upper table-top when selecting the option to suit.

“The inspiration for the design of this innovation is based on its name. It includes both a clearly defined geometric shape, as well as an extruded trapezoid that conflates perfect interplay with zero gravity,” says Michael Schneider about his table Trapez. The design incorporates lightness of style, timeless design and functionality. Trapez, thanks to the narrow table-top affords a deluxe seating area. Its stability and strength on the other hand, are guaranteed by its slanting legs – resembling an aircraft wing’s profile.
