Set of 4 TON Dining Chairs – Model 514, Radomír Hofman (dark), newly upholstered

Historical background

A beautiful set of four dining chairs from the iconic TON 514 model, designed by Radomír Hofman for TON n.p. in Bystřice pod Hostýnem in the 1960s. A perfect example of Czechoslovak mid-century modernism and functionalist furniture design.

Crafted from bent beechwood with a sculptural veneered backrest and signature cut-out detail, these chairs are both elegant and sturdy.  The seats have been  reupholstered in a high-quality textured fabric in a dark cool-toned shade (blue-grey, as shown in the photos). This tone creates a sophisticated contrast with the warm grain of the dark-stained wood, enhancing the chairs’ graphic silhouette and giving them a calm, gallery-like presence—ideal for both contemporary and classic interiors.
