Hi, Is anyone able to help clear this one up. I have a rocking chair identical to the chair seen in the link. It has been attributed to both Ilmari Tapiovaara and (on the designaddict radar) and Roland Rainer. Does anyone have any conclusive evidence that it is either of them?
Thanks for any help
Stew

I've Had A Few Of These
Anything in black and beech gets accredited to Tapiovaara, and seldom is.
I think Rainer is a safer bet, personally.

And there is also
Lena Larsson's version which is also confused with Tapiovaara.

The marking on the chair
I am not an expert on Tapiovaara but the marking on the bottom of this chair is in Croatian and reads the name of the city Varazdin, most likely the location of the furniture factory (former Yugoslavia).
