Description The lecture is focused on the post-war development of bentwood furniture, which has not been professionally researched so far and is often unjustly neglected. It notices the shape changes in the post-war period, activity of company designers Antonín Šuman, Radomír Hofman and Josef Macek working in the shape development department and also the work of other designers (Jiří Petřivý, Miroslav Navrátil, František Vrána and others), who designed for TON occasionally. It points out the success and prestigious awards at international exhibitions.
