Tip Ton Chair Vitra Barber Osgerby

Design | Furniture

Barber Osgerby’s Tip Ton chair designed to encourage movement, manufactured by Vitra

Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby were asked to furnish the Royal Society of Arts Academy in Tipton while Vitra were working with ETH Zurich on ‘dynamic sitting’. The ETH report concluded that a forward tilt sitting position had benefits including improved circulation. This led to a collaboration between Barber Osgerby and Vitra to create the Tip Ton Chair. Vitra subsequently released the Tip Ton RE which is manufactured from recycled plastic. Photo Marc Eggimann. ©Vitra. Barber Osgerby, Vitra
