Hi all,I've recently acquired a vinyl upholstered teak chair which has a detachable drop leaf table on the back. It's almost a variation of the gossip bench, in some ways. It has a Moreddi mark. I have seen only one example on the internet, which was also a request for identification. IF only I could get into those Frank Bros. archives! Does anybody recognize traits? Or has anyone seen one before?

A couple more things of note:
I've sat on the chair backwards and it feels right (which means nothing, I know)
There are two grommets where the metal rod support fits, suggesting the need to adjust. The second setting pitches the table upward. When I interacted with the table in that position, it was very similar to using a drafting table.
Found it.
It's the Frederik the VII chair by Hans Olsen and manufactured by M J Rasmussen. I believe the information to follow was sourced from a Mobilia issue.
Apparently the Danish King Frederik VII liked to sit backwards. Hans Olsen is said to have been inspired by a chair at Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen. I got some of this information (there's a bit more) from http://sharplinesoldtimes.blogspot.com/
