Designed by Charles Pollock
In 1982, the designer Charles Pollock created a real design classic: Penelope. The American designer developed for Castelli a revolutionary chair from a technical and formal point of view: a steel-wire sled base supports a seat permeable to air which consists in a steel-wire fence coated with synthetic resin. The elastic effect of the base is stressed by an integral polyurethane tube that acts as a shock-absorber. The armrest coverings are made of the same material providing additional comfort. With Penelope, Pollock translated into reality a new form of seat. That’s why this timeless classic still enjoys fame in today’s design world.

Beech rods bent according to a modern technology, seat shaped by modern production methods and contemporary design. The Tram chair connects everything that is typical for TON today. Its lines simplify any interior and are available in a version with armrests or upholstery.
The chair, inspired by a model from 1930 by Josef Hoffmann, blends his interest in Art Nouveau and simple shapes with manufacturing processes applied in Bystrice pod Hostynem since 1861. The armchair is therefore more geometrical, but bears the clear features of the manual bending technique of TON.
Designed in 1965 by Elio Martinelli, the lamp is made of methacrylate molding techniques innovative for the time in which it was designed and its geometric shape and dynamism revives the atmosphere of those years decisive for the success of the design Italian in the world.
