Created by the design studio Yonoh, the compact Ginger_37 armchair blends gentle contours with a comfortable, contemporary design. Inspired by the bulbous stem of the medicinal ginger plant, the upholstered armchair is solidly built without appearing heavy. A slight bend on the upper part of the chair legs pays homage to TON’s signature wood-bending technique. The upholstered backrest and armrests are made from a single piece of pressed plywood, creating a neat and compact unit. The result? A very comfortable yet lightweight armchair.
Beech is one of the best known and most commonly used deciduous trees in furniture making. It is a hard, strong, homogenous wood, well suited for manual wood bending. Beech is light to pinkish light in colour with a less pronounced texture, as there is not a marked difference in the colour of spring and summer wood – the contrast that creates annual growth rings.
In Standard finish, we offer stains that do not affect the wood structure. Most of the shades do not hide the texture. The natural characteristics of beech allow the wood to absorb colour differently, resulting in a surface with light and dark markings. The final look of the product is also influenced by the original wood colour. A colour stain is always finished with a transparent water-based lacquer, which creates a durable, impervious coating that requires minimal maintenance.
The Beech Natural option can also be finished with oil, which is applied to the raw, worked surface. The colourless oil base comprising natural oils and waxes creates a protective matte coating that does not crack or peel.
