Hi all, first time poster here. Found this chair on marketplace and I'm curious about who designed it / when.  I've done a good bit of looking around for similar chairs to this one and have found a single other instance of the chair, in an auction lot in Wichita, KS. Looks to be bent plywood (though it could be steam-bent wood with highly visible grain) with no visible screw holes, and the stacked seat cushion is fairly distinct. It's quite similar to the Magnus Olsen cantilevered plywood design  (see link). Does anyone have any ideas about possible designers working with bent plywood cantilevers  or seen a similar chair before?

 

Thanks!

@derekg  Welcome to the Forum.  The Wichita auction is tomorrow -  I would contact them and ask if there is a tag identifying the maker.  My guess is they were made by a smaller American or Canadian office furniture maker with no known designer.
