Chip Chair by Lucie Koldova – 2018 IMM Cologne 04

Designer Lucie Koldova has been invited by the IMM Cologne organisation to create Das Haus, a special exhibition with her view on the future of furniture.
She has collaborated with TON CZ, as a successor of one of the original Thonet factories well versed to create new forms of bentwood furniture. From this collaboration originated the Chip chair. The back clearly alike a potato chip rather than a chair made from wood chips as other chip chairs on this blog show.

At first I’ll share my own photos with my dear readers. Later I’ll share TON CZ photo’s.

I first saw this interesting chair at the Ton Booth of Ton at IMM 2013. Speaking with one of the Ton people he believed it to be the first wooden cantilever ever.

TON – one of the Thonet Successors

I’ve found the Czech Republic successor of the Thonet Imperium, TON CZ.
It’s alive and kicking and its site does provide for information in the English language.
The photo shows their Thonet no 14 interpretation.
