Does any one own this book? I have a question regarding item 102, which should be metal and cane seat chairs that are by ponti. I have an opportunity to buy some but not enough time to get the book first. Can anyone tell me about this reference? thanks in advance

Superleggera, Ponti
Glassartist, the full listing:
?Side Chair c. 1955 steel, cane
32 x16 x 17 ¼ inches (81.3 x 40.6 x 43.8 cm)
Manufacturer: Figli di Amedeo Cassina,
Media, Milan

This is the Super Leggera in steel. I have seen other attributions listing 1957.
Although I have not seen one in person, I love the way they look in photos. I hope this helps.
