Tip Ton
Award: Yellow Pencil
Yellow Pencil / Product Design / Furniture Design / 2012
Tip Ton defines a new chair typology: a solid plastic chair with a tilt action that allows movement between two sitting postures: relaxed and forward-leaning. From a normal position the user can tilt the Tip Ton forward towards a table or desk where it then stays in place, a function of the chair's shaped skids. The movement Tip Ton enables, until now the preserve of mechanical office chairs, promotes comfort and increases circulation, which is proven to enhance concentration. Tip Ton makes this seating concept possible in a form that's lightweight, stackable and incredibly durable.
