Who made these chairs??

Post by 2ndhandDesign on Fri Sep 24, 2010 3:01 am

Hi. Picked these chairs up at the beginning of the year, thought they were interesting so had them reupholstered. After looking in just about every book I can find I have been unable to identify the maker. The wood is Japanese blonde oak. Look like 1950's to me, a colleague has suggested they could be american I really have no idea. Any help greatly appreciated!! Cheers Most Excellent

Hi. Found them at a market, stall holders were sitting on them. Had them restored and reupholstered. I like the fabric myself, but everyone has different tastes... Should mention there is a pair. Cheers

Lovely chairs! I like the 1950s textile you've used for the upholstery however I reckon they look much more like 1960s production (no idea of a maker though - sorry!)
