TON – Innovative Quality Furniture

TON is a furniture company that has been around for several generations. Each product is a craft created by at least 20 pairs of hands. Using traditional techniques to bend wood into new shapes and variations, the work continues from skilled craftsmen to sand, dye, assemble, oil, upholster, and package the products. TON heavily utilizes the technique of bending wood, which they believe is key to the furniture's strength. The furniture company maintains that beauty and strength are the foundation of timeless furniture. TON primarily offers tables, chairs, coat hangers, and decorations.

When was TON founded?

TON was founded in 1861 by Michael Thonet in Bystřice pod Hostýnem, Czech Republic. The factory, still in use today, is one of the oldest furniture factories in the world. Historically, the company has undergone several name changes. In 1953, the company was renamed TON, which stands for Továrna Ohýbaného Nábytku, meaning "Bent Furniture Company" in English. Today, the company is managed by CEO Milan Dostalík.
