Tonon’s OneforTwo
Presented at the 2009 Cologne International Furniture Fair, the OneforTwo armchair is the latest addition to Tonon’s rich product catalogue. OneforTwo, made by designer Stefan Heiliger, is somewhat similar to his famous “Question mark” chair because of its continuous curved structure. OneforTwo however is bigger and edgier. Its 135cm long seat has a triangular shape and is perfect for two, though it can also be used by a single person. Great for your home, and also for your workplace too. The support is also strong enough – the asymmetric cross base in polished chrome steel prolongs into steel frame with elastic belts, covered with injected fireproof polyurethane foam. If used by two people, this mini sofa supposes some intimacy, so it would be best for couples.
