I’m curious to know who recognizes this mystery sofa I photographed in Paris.

The Chair Steve Jobs Presented the IPad from
(Photo Credit: James Martin/CNET)
Cnet has an excellent multimedia coverage of the much awaited IPad presentation by Apple’s Steve Jobs yesterday.
I’ve a feeling the easy chair is a LC Le Corbusier derivative, but am not sure…have to source more photos from the net.
Do you have an idea?
S Curved Plywood three legged Mystery Chair
One of my readers would like some help from other reader with determining the provenance of this interesting S Curved Plywood Tripod Chair.
Browsing the web I could only come up with the following more or less similar chair designs:
The Bellevue Chair by French architect painter and sculptor Andre Bloc and
Brasilean Sergio Faher’s Commo Chair
However both lack the characteristic rib reinforcing the back. Any ideas?
A Chair Mystery Solved?
Remember me showing you this mystery steel chair frame with chrome finish way back in July 2008?
Recently I got an e-mail from Bill Johnson of Retro Vegas who believes he found a bit more about this chair over at an auction site Live Auctioneers who attributed this chair to Tony Paul / Raymore.
However a comment to the post attributes the chair to Edward Higgins…He has one with gold finish and original seating. I hope he reads this and provides a photo of his one.
Ah there is a site devoted to Tony Paul who is alive and kicking at 90: Tony Paul Design and it is a blog. So I asked them to comment here.

Another Mystery Chair – Solved
One of my blogging friends who has discontinued his site (appears in 2013) asked a question who could determine this chair.
One of my readers gave the answer within a day. Simone, who is connected with Austrian Designer Thomas Feichtner (about whom I have to publish much more) pointed us to the site of Sawaya and Moroni. The chair is the Maxima Armchair of a whole series of Maxima chairs, designed by William Sawaya.
Knowing the name I also discovered a blog dedicated to Hospitality Chairs: New Hospitality Chairs [ed. discontinued since]
Thirdly: I knew I had made a photo of this design myself in another setting and found it:
Here is the Maxima Stool. A photo I took in Paris recently when visiting the La Suite Shop.
