This week's item will have its introduction in the upcoming week at Milan design week also known as Salone Internazionale del Mobile. It is a tilting chair for Swiss design brand Vitra. Designed by Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby Tip Ton Chair, designed by Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby. The name 'Tip Ton' hints at its characteristic dual-function seating experience which defines the chair. You can of course sit on it like any other chair. What makes the Tip Ton really special is that it tilts forward in a 9 degree tilt bringing you closer to a table or desk while your spine remains straight. This sitting position straightens the pelvis and spine and improves blood flow. We realized that creating dynamic movement in a chair can actually help a person’s concentration. Research shows that increased muscular activity in the abdomen and back regions can be beneficial to health because movement increases the flow of oxygen around the body which can aid concentration. I have to agree on the leaning forward position.
For many years we owned Stokke That's It chairs as office chairs and never had any back pain. Very useful for those long hours we spend by the computer and lean forward when concentrating. Design for the classroom One mission of this Tip Ton chair is to bring "good design" into the classroom. For a first test in the field, Italian magazine Abitare took the "Tip Ton" chair to the "Casa del Sole" school in Milan, a pioneering institution in terms of experimental education. The Tip Ton is made from a single cast in 100% recyclable polypropylene. The chair is practically indestructible and meets many international standard requirements in terms of safety, size and weight, function, environmental standards and durability. Durability, longevity and zero maintenance are key aspects, the chair is stackable and makes very little noise when moved around. It is also virtually indestructible which makes it suitable for any environment. The chair is stackable and makes very little noise when moved around.
According to Eckart Maise, Vitra’s chief design officer the chair was very challenging to make because the design is much more complex than it appears. "At Vitra we think it has turned out well because it’s an expressive chair, with a strong personality, yet it’s also very democratic because it is made in low cost plastic". They also created a nice introduction video for the Tip Ton. Filmed by Johnny Kelly for Nexus with music from Andy and Jez Williams.

De Tip Ton Stoel is een buitengewoon, uniek én volkomen nieuw stoeltype. De naam Tip Ton verwijst naar de twee standen van de stoel. Vanuit de normale stand kan de Tip Ton enkele graden voorwaarts gekanteld worden om vervolgens in die stand te blijven staan. Deze stand is perfect om het bekken en de ruggengraat recht te houden en bovendien wordt tevens de bloedcirculatie naar de buik- en rugspieren verbeterd!
ETH Zürich, één van de meest vooraanstaande technische hogescholen ter wereld, heeft in 2010 de gezondheidseffecten onderzocht van een voorwaarts gekantelde zithouding. Conclusie is dat door een verhoogde spieractiviteit in de buik en rug de zuurstoftoevoer in het lichaam verbeterd wordt. De Tip Ton Chair biedt deze eigenschappen als allereerste in de vorm van een betaalbare én stevige kunststofstoel, die in veel verschillende omgevingen kan worden ingezet. De Tip Ton is volledig vervaardigd uit polypropyleen, bevat geen mechanische onderdelen en wordt uit één enkele gietvorm vervaardigd. Om deze reden is de stoel zeer duurzaam en volledig recyclebaar. De uitvoeringen in basic dark, wit, ijsgrijs, aarde grijs en gletsjerblauw zijn UV-bestendig en geschikt voor gebruik buitenshuis. De Tip Ton Chair is op de vloer stapelbaar tot maximaal vier stuks, op een stapelwagentje kunnen de stoelen tot maximaal 15 stuks opgestapeld worden. Een stapelwagentje is apart bij te bestellen.
