The name Tomado is an abbreviation of ‘ Togt Massa artikelen Dordrecht’. After the second world war, Dutch company Tomado became very successful producing small, affordable household equipment and created with this book shelves probably one of the most symbolic post-war designs, reflecting the new era of consumer prosperity and technological progress.
