I promise this will be the last problem I'll post for a while.
I bought this daybed/bed last year - listed as a Breuer daybed on the strength of a reference on the design boom article 'history of the daybed' - 17th one down the page - an interesting link in its own right ( http://www.designboom.com/history/66_1920.html )
They have not replied to my enquiry as to where they sourced their info attributing it to Breuer, Anyone know more about it?

I'd be very surprised if it were.
It bears only superficial similarity to the tubular-steel Breuer designs with which I'm familiar (the Wassily chair, the Cesca chair, the Laccio table).
