Conceived by Austrian designer Alexander Gufler, the form speaks with restraint and purpose—where every curve has been considered, and every line carries the legacy of time-honoured woodbending techniques.

Crafted from solid beech, the frames reveal a gentle warmth, their grain alive with subtle character. The seats, upholstered in rich light brown leatherette, offer both comfort and practicality, their tone deepening the chairs’ refined presence. The silhouette is light yet assured—stackable, versatile, and quietly elegant.

These chairs have lived a careful life and remain in excellent used condition, bearing only the faint, honest traces of age. Such marks do not detract; rather, they lend authenticity—like a patina earned through years of gentle use.

A design that bridges past and present, the Merano chair stands as one of Ton’s most celebrated creations—a harmony of heritage craftsmanship and disciplined modernism, ready to find its place once more around a well-set table.
