Interesting Mystery Chair ID  

Fairly
Fairly certain that is Thonet

that
would make sense on a # of levels, but I have never seen a Thonet chair like this. In 15 minutes or so of research I still haven't! It sure does have alot going on.

i am
almost 100% sure it is thonet. A while back there was a sofa for auction that I came across while flipping through the liveauctineers site. Same construction with a Thonet tag. It was either an auction house in NJ or Pennsylvania. Problem is that the word Thonet was in the description, not the title so I am having trouble finding it again. Fairly certain it was an auction within the last 18 months or so.

nice
Yes, thats the one.

wow
that's some nice sleuthing.
I can't decide if I like the design. I don't think so, actually.

Yeah
It's rather clunky and goofy-looking. Might be better without the padding on the arms. But still needs some further refinement.
