Does anyone know if this chair was ever available upholstered?
I found one today at the thrift for $15 in beautiful condition, but the seat is completely upholstered in a vintage burnt orange fabric that appears original. All the images I can find show the webbed strap seat.
Thanks,
Doug
Was it
Knoll or Risom? Risom designed many pieces under his own name / company.
P.S. Knoll did make an upholstered version.
Nice find!
Yesterday, my friend sent me a pic he took when he was at the dump. It was a Mulhauser Plycraft Mr. Chair (the one with the wing-like arms) in quite respectable condition. "It thought it might be an Eames, but then I realized it wasn't, so I passed". I called him up and told him to go back and get it...these chairs have their own following. He begrudgingly went back for it. The best part was that as he walked up to it the second time, there were a couple of guys haggling with the employees over it: "No, $4 is way too much for this thing". They passed. My friend asked "how much?". $3. Clowns.
