Tip Ton RE

Description

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.

Details

Back, seat, base:  recycled polypropylene, 100% recyclable.

Glides:  recycled polyethylene.

Stacking:  Tip Ton RE can be stacked up to 4 chairs high on the floor, up to 11 on a stacking trolley. A stacking trolley is separately available.

Note:  due to the composition of the recycled material, the Tip Ton RE colours exhibit very subtle specks of pigment.

Outdoor use:  suitable for utilisation outdoors on a temporary or seasonal basis, following care instructions. After prolonged exposure to the elements, clean and store away in a dry, sheltered place to ensure lasting use and avoid any deterioration in appearance.
