plycraft chairs help  

name
Do you know if there was a name for this chair

Mulhauser
Sorry Ron, I dont. I've never been able to lay my hands on a Plycraft catalogue. From everything I know about the company there were often multiple versions of the same chair - as Whitespike described a variation on your chair above. The only chairs I know with real names were the Cherner chair (also known as the Rockwell chair) and Mr.Chair. I've seen the name Mr. Chair applied to 3-4 different Mulhauser designs. It's all rather confusing! lol. Even worse is that many chairs simply didnt have names. The Eames Eiffel chairs actual designation is DSR. All of Kjaerholms stuff is numbered: PK20, 22 etc.
Don't worry I ever find a Plycraft catalogue I'll scan the entire thing and upload it.

Thanks
thanks alot I sure have fun looking

Patents
Hey Ron,
I stumbled across a free patent search website yesterday after posting that had some images of other Mulhauser designs. Again, not everything he did was patented, or only pieces of it were. I'm going to do some further research and see if anything shows up under copyrights. I'll keep you posted.

Wow

Here is a message send to us by George Mulhauser's son. Thanks to him for the info!
"been a few year since you posted this image... but thought you might be interested:
Yes, this chair was definitely designed by George Mulhauser (my father). It was one of a series of several chairs designed together as the #600 series, sold by Directional and made by Plycraft - all created from the same mold with differing band saw trimmed perimeter profiles and upholstery. Similar to the Mr. Chair which preceded this, the plywood shell is made from a single shell, steam formed and joined below the seat. Note the similarity of the shell construction to the original Herman Miller Coconut chair (versus new Vitra version which is fiberglass), formed using a single piece of steel joined below the seat - which he designed prior to the Mr. Chair while working at the Nelson studio."

unknown chair
I just purchased this chair on EBay. Do you know anything about it, I think it is Mulhauser but am not sure? I can't put an image in here, but if you send me an e mail I will attach file.
