Hi!

I'm new here, with a few questions.

First - a three-legged side table from about 1958, with a reversible 19" round plywood top, black formica on one side and teak or mahogany(?) on the other, frame/legs are white oak, marked with a circular brand that reads "Made in Sweden". Here's the best pic I have of it.

Second - teak dining chair from the early 60s, black vinyl(?) upholstery. Chairs are all trashed now (damn kids!), but I'm still curious as to what they were.

Third - I've seen a few posts about the Grasshopper chair being done with webbing. My mother (an architect) had this in '49 or '50. Thought you might like the photo!
