There are two of these chairs for sale local to me .

I've been looking all the post here on design addict and google and have not seen any chairs exactly like them.

Any thoughts? They have some age as the leather is on the dried out side. Marcel Breuer or maybe something Italian or German?

The chairs look like Italian reproductions of the S34 Cantilever chair designed by Mart Stam

thanks vintagestique, look like a 100% match to that chair. but whats the differnce between him and matteo grassi? i read its about length of armrest?
now that you mention mart stam, i remember a college furniture history class talking about how him and breuer went to court over the tubular cantilever chair
is the way you tell the chair as an itialian reproduction is by the exposed hardware? guessing Thonet was the orginal manufactor of the chairs back in the 1920-30's.

i am guessing these chairs are late 60's to 70s?
