ABOUT PRODUCTID 11727
This TON chair from the 1960s, produced in Czechoslovakia, exemplifies the spirit of Central European modernism. The structure is crafted from bent beech wood in a warm, light honey tone, with a semi-matte finish that highlights the natural grain. The elegantly curved frame with rounded edges references Josef Hoffmann’s iconic model 811, showcasing the era’s mastery of bentwood furniture. The seat and backrest are upholstered in smooth, matte velour in a deep, dark brown, offering a subtle contrast to the lighter wood. The upholstery is plain, without patterns or visible stitching, and the seat is generously padded for comfort. Slender, slightly tapered legs are joined by a circular stretcher, reinforcing the structure and introducing a geometric accent. The proportions are balanced and lightweight, with a minimalist aesthetic throughout. The chair is preserved in good original condition, showing only minor traces of use on the legs and frame, with no significant damage or repairs.The form of this chair tells the story of post-war Central Europe, when bentwood innovation set the tone for everyday design. The curve of the armrests and back can be read as a search for harmony between function and beauty, a hallmark of the 1960s. The soft velvet and measured geometry speak of comfort and simplicity, reflecting the quiet strength of mid-century modernism. Even today, the chair seems to whisper memories of home interiors from decades past with every gentle creak.It can be paired with other bentwood pieces or simple
