My Turn

Sorry the photo isn't larger -- but at least we see the chair from several angles. It appears to me to be made of ash -- perhaps. Sort of a simplified Wegner-type design -- a comfortable-looking armchair with the minimum number of parts.
Anybody recognize this ?

You're a
prince ! I like this chair -- I wonder if anyone in San Francisco shows it.
It occurs to me that the main thing stabilizing the rear legs is the triangulation, seen in side elevation, of the back, arm, and leg -- with the thin plywood well supported at each end but (I'm imagining) slightly flexible ?

No worries, I like most of...
No worries, I like most of Jasper Morrisons designs but am not so enamoured of this one, I've never liked the feeling of arms hanging downwards on a chair.
Not sure about its construction, I wonder about gluing the ply backrest into the solid bent part and the cennections under the seat, would like to see it disassembled.

You're
certainly right. There are precedents to those connections -- I think of the videp of the construction of Wegner's big Windsor chair -- what is it called ? -- where the back spindles are slid and urged and pounded into their respective holes in the back hoop, where only a little glue has been applied, quickly. Talk about a
"sweaty glue-up". . .!
I had never looked at this man before. One of the chairs has a dowel frame to which translucent colored plastic seat and back are applied. The back apparently has lugs or extensions which seem to penetrate the tops of the rear legs -- I imagine them shaped to snap permanently into the wood. Swell stuff. . .

SDR...
The chair actually has some structure under the ply seat as well which joins the back rail to the front rail. As a woodworker you'd probably enjoy this chair more from a distance, the quality of construction and finish it not the best, at least on the examples I've seen.
