TON Bentwood Furniture-Contract Furniture Store

TON, Traditional to Contemporary Bentwood Furniture

The Evolution of TON Bentwood Furniture

For more than 160 years, TON has been shaping the story of bentwood furniture, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design thinking. Rooted in a heritage dating back to 1861, TON continues to manufacture its furniture in the Czech Republic using time-honoured manual bending techniques — refined and reinterpreted for modern interiors.

This unique combination of heritage, innovation, and material expertise allows TON to create furniture that feels both timeless and current, making it a popular choice for hospitality, commercial, and public spaces worldwide.

A Living Tradition of Bentwood Craftsmanship

TON’s bentwood furniture is still produced in the same region where the technique was first perfected. Skilled craftspeople shape solid wood using steam and hand-bending methods that preserve strength while allowing elegant, flowing forms.

What makes TON distinctive is its ability to combine this traditional process with contemporary design language, resulting in furniture that balances:

  • Proven durability
  • Refined proportions
  • Innovative silhouettes
  • Modern usability
  • Long-term commercial performance

Each piece reflects generations of expertise while responding to today’s architectural and interior design demands.

Contemporary Collections Built on Bentwood Heritage

TON’s latest collections demonstrate how traditional bentwood craftsmanship can evolve into modern, design-led furniture suitable for today’s contract environments.

Merano Collection

The Merano chair, armchair, and barstool combine a solid wood base with harmoniously bent plywood seat and backrest elements. The result is a refined yet robust seating solution that works beautifully in restaurants, cafés, hotels, and shared spaces.

The balance between structural clarity and soft curvature makes Merano a strong choice for interiors seeking understated elegance with practical performance.

Split Collection

The Split collection explores the expressive potential of manually bent solid wood. Chairs, armchairs, lounge chairs, and barstools are constructed using split lengths of solid timber that support the seat and backrest.

This technique creates a distinctive architectural character while maintaining the comfort and durability required for contract use. Split is ideal for contemporary hospitality interiors looking to make a subtle design statement without sacrificing function.

Bloom Tables

The Bloom table collection showcases the principles of bentwood in table design. Each table is formed from three or four bent square timbers (depending on size), which support the tabletop with visual lightness and structural strength.

Bloom tables work equally well in cafés, dining spaces, and collaborative environments, offering a refined expression of traditional craftsmanship translated into modern form.
