.
According to this book (see link) Thonet only produced the models 533 and 534 until 1936, there were a couple of other models but I doubt your chairs are from this period, its chairs in the time of Hitler.
The screwed butt join at the back of the sled is an older detail from what I know though..who knows? Good luck.

agreed
I think the link was mis-attributed as well. Shocking, I know
Well, these are vintage, but not Knoll, Thonet, or original.
They have no curve or LEAN, so they are somewhat less elegant.
But they are VERY well made. Solid as heck, not some cheap contemporary take on the chair. And the original strapping is 60's at the latest.
so I'll keep looking. Thanks for the help, though. To me, this is part of the fun...

Or check this ebay item id 390103401684
I think that is my chair. Straight front legs. Cushions look the same. Has a tag (pictured below) that says THONET.

Thanks, fastfwd
I started a new one since this went to crap so very quickly.
For those of you trying to steer it back on course, I applaud you.
But #4 is where it's at. 🙂

Ardian Pearsall/Kagan-esque Biomorphic Glass Top Table
Did you ever find out who made your table?

I have that table too!
I have the same coffee table...It was my mom's from the 1960's. It also has a "plastic" tray that fits into that hole in the middle of the base. I filled the tray with dirt and have pothos growing in it. My mom also had a mirror custom cut for that tray and used to put knick knacks on it. I'd like to post my pictures but I don't know how...I only subscribed just now so I could respond to your post.
