Product Information
Description
Designed by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby for Vitra, the Tip Ton chair's name refers to the 'tipped forward' position permitted by design. Research shows that this forward-tilt position causes the spine to straighten and improves circulation to the abdominal and back muscles. With the Tip Ton chair, Barber & Osgerby desired to allow for this health-benefiting position, which prior was only provided by mechanical office chairs. Thus the design offers two sitting positions while remaining an economical and robust seating solution.

Tip Ton can be stacked up to four chairs high, is suitable for outdoor use and comes in a choice of contemporary colours. It is a popular choice for homes, cafes and restaurants alike.
