Description
Created by designers Barber & Osgerby for Vitra, Tip Ton defines a new type of chair: a forward tilting seat made of a polypropylene block. From its standard position, Tip Ton tilts forward, adopting a tilted position measuring several degrees thanks to the chair's front skids equipped with a 9 degree tilt. This forward tilted seated position, previously found in mechanical office chairs, straightens the pelvis and spine, improving blood circulation in abdominal and back muscles. Due to its characteristic appearance and wide variety of colours, Tip Ton looks at home in all interiors; it can be used as a dining chair as well as an office chair.

BARBER OSGERBY
Born in Shrewsbury and Oxford respectively in 1969, Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby studied architecture and interior design together at the Royal College of Art in London. In 1996, they set up their own agency, Barber Osgerby. The duo work at the crossroads between industrial design, furniture design and architecture. Their first design, the Loop Table, was spotted by Giulio Cappellini at the 1996 Milan Motor Show. The latter struck up a friendship with the designers, and together they developed a series of products that are now internationally recognised. Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby have won numerous awards, including Best New Designer at the ICFF Editors Awards in 1998, the Good Design Award for the Tab T table lamp published by Flos in 2010, and Design of the Year 2012 for 'The London Olympic Torch'. They fold materials and like to play with colours. Their work is inspired by existing production techniques, using them in "more original and intelligent" ways. They have worked with leading brands such as Magis (Poppins umbrella stand), Vitra, Established&Sons and Cappellini. Their creations can be found in the permanent collections of museums around the world (MoMa in New York, Victoria & Albert Museum in London, etc.).

VITRA
Vitra was founded in 1950 by Willi Fehlbaum and Erika Fehlbaum. The design furniture company Vitra is located near Basel, Switzerland. Starting in 1981, the Vitra brand expanded and opened numerous subsidiaries around the world. The founders discovered the Vitra armchairs, including the Eames armchairs, the Vitra tables, and the office chairs created by Charles and Ray Eames, Antonio Citterio, and the Bouroullec brothers. They were instantly captivated and subsequently requested a license to produce these furniture pieces in Europe. In 1956, Vitra acquired this license, which became one of the cornerstones of the brand’s success.
