The design allows users to move from a conventional seated position into a slightly forward-tilted posture, encouraging a more upright position of the pelvis and spine. Originally conceived as Tip Ton RE Dining Chair and introduced in 2011, the chair established an unusual typology: a solid plastic chair with forward-tilt action. The current RE version, identified by Vitra as 2011\/2020, is manufactured using post-consumer recycled material. Its intelligent geometry eliminates the need for a conventional mechanical tilting system. Tip Ton RE is produced from a single mould without mechanical components, creating a visually uncomplicated chair suited to contemporary dining, working and learning environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eMade in Swiss\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsually ships within 6-8 weeks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFree Shipping (USA \u0026amp; Canada)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=us-ascii\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\na {\n    text-decoration: none;\n    color: #464feb;\n}\ntr th, tr td {\n    border: 1px solid #e6e6e6;\n}\ntr th {\n    background-color: #f5f5f5;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Finish\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tip Ton RE is constructed as an all-plastic chair using post-consumer recycled polypropylene, combining material efficiency with the distinctive forward-tilting geometry of the original Tip Ton design.
