The ‘Davos’ Toboggan

Description from Manufactum

Graf are a Swiss firm that specialize in shaping and bending wood in all kinds of areas ranging from furniture manufacture to chassis construction – they’re also well-known as trouble-shooters when other firms run into difficulties or need special technical solutions in this field. So it’s not surprising that the classic Davos toboggan stands out from the crowd –in both performance, looks and finish. This shows itself in details like the thickness of the ash-wood used in construction, the amazing sturdiness of the seat slats and, last but not least, the all-important runners that have been given an extra-long sliding surface at both ends (see illustration) to ensure greater stability and which truly deserve the title “˜luxurious’.
A Graf “˜Davos’ toboggan is indeed, to quote the old proverb, something that you never really own, but simply pass down to the next generation.
