Massproductions has extended its award-winning Tio Collection with a hot-dip-galvanized finish, adding durability to the line’s established minimalist character.
The HDG treatment carries a ten-year warranty against corrosion, making the collection suited for exposed environments where standard powder-coated steel would require more maintenance.
Designed by Chris Martin, the Tio Collection is built around a consistent material commitment: 92.55 percent recycled steel, with 89 percent sourced from post-consumer recycling centers.
The HDG process bonds zinc to the steel surface through immersion in molten zinc, producing a finish that is harder and more resistant to mechanical damage than conventional coatings.
The HDG range includes the Tio Chair (W500 × D545 × H790 mm, seat height 440 mm, 5 kg), the Tio Easy Chair (W596 × D678 × H679 mm, seat height 390 mm, 6 kg), and two side tables at the same 600 × 600 mm footprint — one at 720 mm height and one at 420 mm. All pieces retain the stackability and visual transparency that defined the original Tio design.
Climate data is assessed through Målbar’s self-assessment framework, with a full CO₂ breakdown available on the Massproductions website.
