Made for rooms that change

Lasu stacks and connects, which suits training rooms, function spaces and staff dining where the layout is never the same two days running. Two frame sizes cover everything from a 900 mm square to a three metre run.

Top options

The top can be solid wood, for a table that will be refinished over the years, or veneered chipboard where the budget matters more than the lifetime. Both are made in beech, oak or rustic oak.

Steam-bent solid wood

Every TON piece starts as solid wood that is steamed until it will move, bent over a form and held while it dries. The technique is the one Michael Thonet worked out at this factory in 1861, and the hardest bends are still made by hand. Wood is chosen piece by piece for strength, flexibility and appearance, and frames are hand sanded before finishing.

Wood and finishes

TON finishes to a shared catalogue palette: natural varnish and natural oil, stains including Coffee, Dark Wenge, Dark Chocolate, Nougat, Granite, Honey, Black Grain and Forest Green, and pigment lacquers including White, Cloud Grey, Moon Grey, Grey Shadow, Steam Blue, Graphite Blue, Factory Red and Resin Yellow.

Warranty and testing

TON gives a 10 year warranty on its furniture, excluding parts bought in from outside suppliers. Its tables are tested to EN 1730 and meet level M against EN 12521 and EN 15372, and the wood is FSC certified.

About TON

TON makes its furniture at Bystřice pod Hostýnem in the Czech Republic, in the factory Michael Thonet built in 1861. It is the oldest bentwood works still running, and the only one still making these pieces where they were invented.
