Recently acquired?  

Now sporting a remnant "Rise" white vinyl by Konstantin Grcic for Maharam textiles, stripped the brown paint and restored the maple bent plywood parts in honey maple color.

Chair no. 1294 designed by Bruno Weil for Thonet in 1945, reissued by Thonet USA as part of the Legacy Collection.

@minimoma that’s an amazing job! Well done, it looks fabulous.

Swedish Roll Top Desk - Anyone know the type of wood that was used?  

Thanks @reamie, I see you have been rubbing elbows with a (former) royalty lately.  Sigvard Bernadotte is a prolific industrial designer, he even designed something that do not take a lot of space that made people look and feel good.

@ponyboy, it looks like a figured mahogany veneer but I can't tell for sure, I don't have a (prescription) Skaga yet, beautiful piece and reminds me of an early  bedside table I have from Illums Bolighus.

@minimosa agree that the chair looks great in the new vinyl.  Almost makes me want to pick up this set that's been on the local CL. 

I guess I can't edit the post anymore, I meant flame mahogany (not figured), @mark737, looks like the stacking Thonet attributed online to Joe Atkinson.

Yes, looks to be.  

Wow, it's been what...9 years...since I posted. I just picked up this pair of HM Eames aluminum group lounges today. $500 each, but in brilliant condition. Not a mark on them.

Hiding in plain sight, an inexpensive Moreddi Import lounge chair frame (it needs work)I recognized from an old archival photo.

This Moreddi/Frank Bros import chair & others were (I think for the first time) were shown in Case Study House #23 in LaJolla,  CA and photographed by Julius Schulman.

Another archival photograph by Julius Schulman with his notes with the same chair in one of the bedrooms of Case Study House #23.

I had a pair of these about 7 years ago that I reupholstered. The webbing was in excellent shape. I never knew what they were. Sadly, we sold them as we were getting to much furniture in the house. My wife loved them and wishes we never parted with them.

Dug a pic up!

The Moreddi Imports I encountered in the past are always branded in areas not always visible & sometimes     they are almost invisible as the wood darkens overtime.  This chair is like that, the faint mark is behind the front rail under the seat that the seller missed it and just selling this chair inexpensively as a generic Danish modern/mid century chair.

Yes, I likely missed it. I think mine was a junk yard find. $5 and then another $75 to get it reupholstered.
