Tio Stool

During the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2009, Chris Martin and Magnus Elebäck launched both Massproductions as a brand and their first product: Tio Chair. Tio quickly gained recognition in the industry and in Massproductions first year of operation it won the Swedish Association of Architects' Golden Chair design award.

The award-winning Tio Collection is made of electroplated steel wire with a polyester powder coat. The clean, transparent design of the Tio series allows the pieces to blend in well with a large variety of architectural styles. Designer Chris Martin's starting point for the design of Tio was to use as little material as possible, creating a deceptively strong and comfortable piece of furniture. The chairs and tables in the series are crafted using a few bent steel rods in a simple construction, which tricks the eye and immediately captures the viewer's interest.

Tio is made of 92.55 % recycled steel, with 89% sourced directly from post-consumer recycling centres.

Today, the chair is represented in the permanent collection of The Swedish National Museum of Arts, in Stockholm. Over the years, Tio has been devel ­oped into a collection comprising several types of chairs and tables.
