Please help me out:Years ago I bought a set of chairs (2 pcs.) and a table. They are big, made of polyester and very heavy.The previous owner used the chairs in his garden (!).Probably the designer of the chairs and table was inspired by the Capitello cahir from Gufram Italy.I've never seen the set before so did Sotheby's (Amsterdam and Paris). Even the general managers of Gufram Italy and Heller USA (they both wrote me a letter) haven's seen the set before.They're vintage design. Probably 80's (pop art).Is there anybody who can tell me more about the producer, age and designer?

See if this matches the dimensions of your chair.

Your matching table is a mystery.  The idea is suppose to be have a lounge chair, a bucket chair and a table from slicing the upper part of one ionic column into three pieces.
You need to do more research to determine if your pieces is part of the limited edition pieces made by Gufram.  There is a possibility that it may be a copy.  I hope this helps.

There are a lot of differences between yours and the set that minimoma pointed out.  I would say yours are "inspired by" the original design.
