Tip Ton RE
Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby, 2011/2020
Tip Ton RE is an all-plastic chair with a forward-tilt action, which is manufactured from post-consumer recycling material. The name Tip Ton refers to the chair's characteristic dual sitting postures: from a normal position, Tip Ton RE can be tipped forwards a few degrees. This forward-tilt position straightens the pelvis and spine and thus improves circulation to the abdominal and back muscles.
The high-quality recycled material for Tip Ton RE stems from Germany's 'Yellow Bag' (Gelber Sack) collection of household waste, particularly used packaging. Utilising this raw material instead of petroleum-based primary plastics generates fewer climate-damaging emissions and consumes significantly less energy.
Tip Ton RE is manufactured from a single mould without any mechanical components. To achieve the required stability and quality of the design, the recycling material is mixed with a proportion of glass fibres. Extremely durable and 100% recyclable, Tip Ton RE can be stacked up to four chairs high and comes in a choice of different colours.
