Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby Trade Prices available on request. Tip Ton sets a new standard in regard to dynamic sitting - and it defines a new typology: the fully synthetic chair which can be tipped forward. Tip Ton can be leaned forward, where the chair gently stops in the forward position. This seat position, which has been exclusive to mechanical office chairs until now, tilts the hips and back upright, improving blood flow. Tip Ton is formed from a single mould with no mechanical components. this makes it practically indestructable and 100% recyclable. Tip Ton is the first piece designed in collaboratiopn between Vitra and BarberOsgerby. Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby were both born in 1969 and studied architecture together at the Royal College of Art in London. Since that time, they have been working together on the interface between industrial design, furniture design and architecture. Material: 100% polypropylene with polyamide glides.

add to my wishlist Products of the family Tip Ton defines a whole new chair typology: the solid plastic chair with forward-tilt action. Its name refers to the dual sitting positions provided by the chair – from a normal position, Tip Ton can be tilted forward 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 confirm increased muscle activity in the abdominal and back areas, which boosts the supply of oxygen to 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. Tip Ton is made of polypropylene and manufactured from a single mould without any mechanical components.

This makes the chair extremely durable and 100% recyclable. Tip Ton can be stacked up to four chairs high and comes in eight different colours. Backrest, seat, base: polypropylene. Stacking: Tip Ton can be stacked up to 4 chairs high on the floor, up to 11 on a stacking trolley. A stacking trolley is separately available. Outdoor use: the colours earth grey, ice grey, glacier blue, basic dark and white are suitable for outdoor use. Note: special additives retard the fading of colours due to UV radiation. However, if the chair is exposed to sunlight for prolonged periods, the colour may change over time. We recommend limited exposure to sunlight. This striking solid plastic chair with forward-tilt action defines a whole new chair typology. Its name refers to the two types of sitting positions this chair provides; normal and tilted a few degrees forward. The chair holds its place in the forward-tilt sitting position, which straightens the pelvis and spine and thus improves circulation to the abdominal and back muscles.
