Not kofod-larsen chair question - rare style? Updated as Kodawood  

So what happens if you take it off, turn it and mount it?

lol i thought of that too; angle & placement is wrong on your back, no brace support for your weight. it definitely was made to be this way.

well, my bad.... NOT kofod-larsen!
found it as Kodawood (miami florida - 1950s) by designer Seymour J Weiner

Not sure where you got the designer attribution but I'm having a hard time believing someone named their child Seymour Weiner. Unless he's an old dude with a board in his garage...

yes, ive had many a comment about the great picture of my weiner! but its true, heres the patent

But that's a totally different chair, or did I miss something somewhere?

its how he made the chair not the specific design, all kodawood labels had the same patent number, regardless of the style of furniture - even sofas and barstools. the question asked was about the name source, the patent shows his name as seymour james wiener.

I like how he signed his name S. James Wiener. No coincidence there to emphasize the middle name instead of the first.
