Company history

First steps with the modular Tiptoe table leg

One of the defining products with which TipToe has made a name for itself is the modular TipToe table leg, a concept initialyl advanced by numerous designers in the 1970s that was given an innovative, contemporary reinterpretation from TipToe. As the TipToe table legs can be clamped to any table top, and come in a variety of sizes and colours, they offer maximum flexibility when designing any space. The sophisticated, functional design has become one of TipToe's trademarks.

TiptToe: three generations of entrepreneurs

French furniture manufacturer TipToe is related to a metalworking company near Chamonix in Haute-Savoie founded in 1947 by Henri Bourgeaux, Matthieu Bourgeaux's grandfather, and currently run as a family business in the third generation. The family workshop is an important partner of TipToe which produce a large proportion of the elements from which TipToe furniture is assembled. Individual parts made using traditional metalworking techniques also give TipToe designs their rustic, down-to-earth minimalism.

TipToe: Consistently for more sustainability and environmental protection

At TipToe, sustainability runs through all aspects of furniture production. The most important sustainability principles are clearly defined: All furniture is produced in Europe and is designed to last a long time. Instead of relying on cheaply produced objects that invariably breaks quickly and has to be disposed, TipToe focuses on sustainable furniture production.

To make its sustainability approach transparent, TipToe has formulated 5 principles that are consistently implemented:

1. Make things simple: TipToe furniture is functional, simple, robust, easy to assemble and transport.

2. Make more with less: All products are designed efficiently and to conserve resources. All individual parts can be replaced or repaired. In addition individual parts are designd to reduce the size of the packing.

3. Use the right materials: All materials are durable and easily recyclable or already recycled. The wood comes from sustainably managed European forests that bear the PEFC or FSC seal. TipToe's packaging is made of 80% recycled paper.

4. Build to last: All products are designed and manufactured to have a particularly long lifespan. This is guaranteed by numerous tests. In addition, all TipToe objects are designed so that they can be easily repaired.

5. Design for disassembly: As Tiptoe furniture consists of only a few individual parts, it can either be easily repaired or, if it has served its purpose, easily dismantled into its component parts and recycled separately.
