Anyone know why?

Hi Ball,
I have one too. Knoll was made under license here in Australia in 60s 70s.. I guess this is one of them. I know saarinen series and even Finn Juhls were made here too.

Builder, do you have any infomation on the who, when and where of these licensed pieces that were made here? You've got me intrigued.
Remember the days when Australia used to make things and had more to be proud of? Now we just dig stuff out of the ground, sell it off, buy it back and spend any profit on widescreen televisions.
