TON 822 Wooden chair with padded seat

822 is a solid beech and veneer chair with integrated cushion designed by Claesson Koivisto Rune for Ton.‎‎ The 822 forms emulate Josef Hoffmann’s 1930 design of the modernist model 811.‎ In its proportions, the 822 collection works more with the natural forms of manual bentwood technology; it tempers some parts of the structure, but conversely, the graphic use of circular holes visually empowers the seat and backrest.‎ These holes connect the colour finish with the interior the chair inhabits, or with the clothing of the person seated on it, and they impart a specific, timeless character to this comprehensive product family.‎ Wood The 822 collection combines the use of shaped plywood and manually bent solid wood.‎ This specific technology only uses beechwood, which is naturally pale in colour and has a very soft texture.‎ The products are made from wood certified by PEFC, a system focusing on responsible approaches to forest ecosystems and aiming to expand them.‎ Colours and surface treatments Natural products can be finished with oil or lacquer to highlight the beechwood’s natural characteristics.‎ Stains and pigment colours give the product a specific character and enable an interaction with the interior and the colours or styles worn by the person using it at any given time.‎ Further info from manufacturer on 822 TON
