HISTORY

In 1861, a bent furniture plant was opened in Bystřice pod Hostýnem and today it is among the oldest in the world. It was no coincidence that its founder Michael Thonet, whose name the plant bore, chose this place. Surrounded by beech forests offering enough material for the manufacturing process, Bystřice pod Hostýnem also saved on transportation and labour costs thanks to its location. Very unusual industrial labour organisation system, where the workers were specialised in only one task, and also use of  unique technologies were other factors that helped the chairs from Bystřice compete at a reasonable price and expand all over the world.

Even ten years since the opening, 300,000 items of bent furniture were being made every year. By 1912, the number had risen to 445,000 items and  almost 2,000 people looked after the products. In return, the Thonet family took care of their employees. They set up vocational schools for wood processing, kindergartens, a band in Bystřice pod Hostýnem and supported the construction of a railway, built homes for workers and even opened a casino.

After the First World War, which left a heavy toll on the economic situation, the plant merged in 1922 with the Kohn-Mundus joint stock company and changed its name to THONET-MUNDUS. This new corporation operated until 1940. Until the end of the Second World War it was managed by a caretaker appointed by the Reich Protector. Following a decree of the Ministry of Industry from  March 7, 1946, THONET became a national enterprise and in 1953 it was renamed as TON (the abbreviation standing forTovárna Ohýbaného Nábytku – bent furniture factory). After the transformation of the political situation in the Czech Republic in 1989, the organisational structure was changed and the company became a state enterprise. Since 1994, TON has been a joint stock company. 


The factory has been in continuous operation over a century without any break in production. Today TON is one of the major European manufacturing centres of quality bent wood furniture.

Since 2005 TON has started working in Georgia – our Company exclusively represents its name on our market. TON is already everywhere – at your friend’s place, city bars and restaurants.

Our trend is to blend yesterday’s refined elegance with today’s modern lifestyle. Visit our salon and make the choice to your taste. Make TON yours!
