Furniture

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.

Oswald Haerdtl was a central figure in Austrian modernism. His furniture designs reflect an architectural approach—clear structure, subtle curves, and strong attention to ergonomics. His chairs were often created for refined interiors, cafés, and public spaces, combining durability with visual restraint.

The WAVE chair was introduced after 2010 as part of TON’s contemporary design line. Michal Riabič, a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava, is a leading figure in modern Slovak design.
