Hi Folks , I am a self confessed chairofile ...
I bought this chair online knowing nothing of its provenance . A regarded MCM collector friend of mine says it is probably Danish , but maybe English .
I would love any thoughts , suggestions as to where and when this chair hails ..
Cheers

I really like that design
And how fitting to find it in Australia as it's always reminded me of a duck-billed platypus (in a good way).

I so agree with pegboard.
It should be re-named the Platypus Chair.
Great design..

chair
Thank you! Yes, it is a comfortable chair. It is not a very big chair. It has a low profile which I like, and a unique design. I've always liked the arms that jut out. My chair was reuphostered.

Great chair
I used to have this chair and it was surprisingly comfortable. I love the design and miss having it around.

A question to reupholstering
Dear Rockybird
In spite of an one year old correspondance: Could you please tell me how you removed the armrests when upholstering?
