Tip Ton by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby is much more than a plastic chair with a distinctive contemporary design. Thanks to its tilted forward position, it also offers an ergonomic seat. Tip Ton is available in a wide range of colours. It is stackable and also 100% recyclable.

Tip Ton defines a completely new type of seat: a solid plastic chair with forward inclination. The name refers to the characteristic dual sitting position. From the normal position, Tip Ton can be tilted a few degrees forward and remain in that position.
The tilted forward position, hitherto the prerogative of mechanical office chairs, straightens the pelvis and spine, thus improving circulation in the abdominal and dorsal muscles.
