No idea
I found that on the internet. Someone has one on ebay saying it was designed by URSULA MEYER but I have not found anything on the internet to back that up. Not sure if it really matters who designed them though. What I have learned in my short career of collecting is that if you see something that may be "something" and the price is right just buy it. Someone else is always there to scoop it up in those few hours (sometimes even minutes)of deliberating. When you lose out you end up mulling it over until something else comes along.
How much are they asking for each chair?

It's an estate sale so I won't know what they are asking until I get in the door. They have several other bentwood chairs as well.
