Hello, this picture of a (rare?) lounge chair is from a Strässle (Switzerland) book.
I'd like to know: which "reference book" does this page come from?

And ....
There are two known examples of this armchair; both were found "quite by chance" in the Netherlands.
And both for sale ....
Are there more known? Is it really that rare?

And do you happen to know if Tuttle is actually the designer?

The caption clearly states : loaned by Paul Tuttle. What do you think that means?

Thanks in advance for your help 🙂

@bo  after almost a year, forum was offline, yess by paulTutte  (his web site with al his designs disapeared du to legal battle)

but  if found a image in or at https://sbmag.com/weliveinparadise/design-genius

the chair is some times attributed to Sonja Wasseur a dutch designer  this highly unlikely

Thank you!

In meantime I already knew, because of the book by (APA) Berns, M. C. (2003).
Paul Tuttle designs. University Art Museum, Santa Barbara (page 145-147)
Unfortunately, I still don't know how many copies of this model (named "Laminata") were ultimately produced/ sold.
So, are they truly rare... or not?

Sadly, Strassle themselves never responded to my message.
