Hello everyone,
I thrifted this nice little children's chair (?) today and have been struggling with trying to identify it. I figured it might be some vintage Ikea job but finally came across it on Mondo Cane. I've included the website link at the bottom. It's the only example and listing I've seen anywhere.
They list just USA (1980s) and I thought it would be fun to see if anyone might know something more about it.
I won't bother to post pictures since mine is exactly the same except in birch.
Cheers.

Dimensions
Hey Woody,
Interestingly enough, Mondo Cane has it as 28 x 11 x 19.
But mine is 26h X 11w x 18d.
Thanks for the response. I'm really interested to find out about this piece.

Quick update...
Quick update for those of you following along with this...
I had visions of Eric Pfeiffer's Mag Table when I first saw the piece and finally discovered the BroSis Lounge by Pfeiffer for Modernseed in 2006. Quite the pair, huh?
My chair was included in a special exhibition called - An Exhibition of Children's Chairs, Mondo Cane and Partners & Spade with 50 examples spanning from the years 1890-1990.
Mondo Cane's 1980s assertion surely isn't a mistake, making Eric's piece more questionable.
Other than that, I can't find this thing anywhere. Maybe anonymous is where this will stay.
