Merano Bentwood Side Chair by Ton

The Merano Side Chair by TON blends traditional craftsmanship with modern design through its strikingly minimalist form and meticulous construction. Designed by Alexander Gufler, the chair is notable for its unique combination of solid wood legs and a pressed plywood seat and backrest, which appear to float gracefully above the frame. This seamless integration gives the chair both visual lightness and structural integrity, resulting in a piece that is as elegant as it is durable.

Thanks to its refined silhouette and ergonomic shape, the Merano Side Chair offers exceptional comfort without the need for upholstery. It’s a versatile piece that adapts well to dining settings, office spaces, and hospitality environments. The chair’s clean lines and warm wood tones make it a timeless addition to both contemporary and classic interiors, showcasing the enduring appeal of Czech bentwood tradition reimagined for today’s aesthetic.
