160 Years Strong: Innovating Tradition, Shaping Tomorrow

Eero Koivisto

Innovation is in our DNA, but we never forget where we came from.

Eero Koivisto designer Claesson Koivisto Rune
“Traditional bentwood technology has remained unchanged for 160 years. Ton has extended it into the future with these contemporary production possibilities.”

We are always thinking about how to do our job in the best and most efficient way. We haven't changed a jot about the hand-bending of wood that began in Bystřice pod Hostýnem. Humanity still wins over robotics here. However, for the simpler wood bending, we now use machines that we have developed ourselves in our factory.
