Beton er det gennemgående materiale i arkitekt Anders Toft’s kunsthåndværk. Et materiale der for mange især associeres med ucharmerende halvfjerdserbyggeri og profane objekter som fliser og kantsten. For Anders derimod er det betonens underspillede skønhed, materialitet og dens plastiske kvaliteter der konstant fascinerer.
Anders blev særlig kendt for sit kunsthåndværk i 2016 da han vandt DR1 udsendelsen Made in Denmark. Vinderprojektet var tre hylder i beton og messing. Formgivningen var stram og karakteristik for Anders’ formsprog.
Med virksomheden Tonton forsøger Anders at fastholde det eksperimenterende og unikke håndværk i arbejdet med at støbe beton i den lille skala. Formgivningsuniverset kan karakteriseres som miniature arkitektur. Tontons produkter er for alle med en passion for beton. Både den glatte blanke og den rå, rustikke.

Concrete is the essential material in the work of the artisan Anders Toft. A matriale that for most people is associated with 1970’s brutalist architecture and profane objects as concrete tiles and kerbs. For Anders on the other hand it is the discrete beauty, materiality and its plastic qualities that continues to fascinate.
Anders was especially known as an artisan i 2016 when he won the tv program Made in Denmark on DR1. The winner project was tree shelves made out of conrete and brass. The shaping was minimalistic and typical for Anders’ formal language.
Through his company Tonton, Anders wants as an artisan to continue the unique and eksperimental approach to his work with concrete. The designunivers of tonton can be described as miniature architecture. Tonton products are for all with a passion for concrete. The smooth, shining and the raw, rustic.
