Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Cocoon Collectables had sold the first chair. The Pair was sold by Studio Tout, who indicated it being a chair manufactured by Gavi?
Design Market sold four of them. Compared with for instance the Cesca Chair it is a clever inverted cantilever design. I just wonder if it doesn’t lean to the front and you slide out of it when you put your weight in it.
Via a comment one of my readers sent me photo’s of a mystery bentwood chair. From what I know from Thonet, they never produced bentwood chairs with styles of turned wood.
No labels or other imprints than an 8, or is it a scorpio or crab alike sign?
Maybe our readership has an idea?

In 2025 I see another site: Vaunt with a set of 4 Fischel no 62 chairs of which I’ll add some photo’s here:


Readers sometimes ask assistance to determine a piece of seating furniture.

Anybody an idea of this bench’s provenance?
