Hi
Trying to ID the designer of this chrome and leather chair. I cant help thinking Milo Braughman...
There are some mild specks on the chrome to suggest it is 60s/70s era.
The underneath is interesting - probably like you all, I have turned over 100s of chairs...but this is the first time I have seen these straps and buckles ....(perhaps I have just lead a quite life!!)
Any help in identifying the designer would be appreciated..
thanks
Paul

Pretty sure it's an "inspired by" knockoff of the Marcel Breuer B33 chair, designed in the 20s. The straps and buckles are either a way to vary the design a bit or a way to easily fasten the seats to the frame---or both.
