822 Lounge Chair by Claesson Koivisto Rune for TON

Contemporary Form with a Playful Geometric Character

The TON 822 Lounge Chair explores the relationship between classic bentwood design and contemporary geometric expression. Designed by Claesson Koivisto Rune, the chair is defined by its distinctive circular perforations, arranged across the seat and gently curved backrest to create a rhythmic, graphic pattern. The softly rounded rectangular backrest, armless profile and slender timber legs give the design a clean architectural character, while the repeated cut-outs introduce a playful sense of movement and visual openness. Its balanced proportions allow the patterned surfaces to become the defining feature without overwhelming the overall silhouette. Well suited to design-led living spaces, creative interiors and informal seating areas, the TON 822 offers an engaging alternative to conventional timber seating.

European Beechwood and Perforated Timber Detailing

Crafted from European beechwood, the TON 822 Lounge Chair features a timber seat, backrest and frame that create a cohesive material expression. The circular perforations introduce a distinctive visual texture across the timber surfaces, contrasting with the smooth, rounded edges of the frame. Available in pigment finishes, the chair offers opportunities to introduce colour into an interior while retaining the sculptural clarity of its design. Measuring 45cm wide, 52.4cm deep and 80.2cm high, with a seat height of 46cm, the chair combines its open, armless form with considered proportions. The gently curved backrest and rounded seat frame soften its geometric detailing, creating a balanced relationship between form, pattern and natural materiality.
