Description

Tip Ton can be tilted forward a few degrees from the normal position. This forward-tilt position straightens the pelvis and spine and thus improves circulation to the abdominal and back muscles.

In 2020 Vitra developed a version of the chair that is manufactured from recycled plastic: Tip Ton RE. The high-quality recycling material stems from post-consumer household waste, particularly used packaging. Utilising this raw material instead of petroleum-based primary plastics generates 30% less climate-damaging emissions, with a significant reduction in primary energy consumption.
