It started as a question on our FB page. I run the photo through Google Image Search and found Taylor Llorente Furniture and on the basis of the photo there a further search unveiled the Indexhibit based site of Swiss designer Philippe Bestenheider who designed the Lui collection for Fratelli Boffi in 2009.

“These armchairs are a rare case in which Gebrüder Thonet managed to be a step ahead of its competitor, Kohn, in the early years of the century. In May 1904, in the company magazine “Thonet Zentral Anzeiger”, two armchairs “with ears” were initially presented with catalogue numbers 1051 and 1052, later changed to 6541 and 6542. The two armchairs were manufactured in Bystritz and were placed on the market one year before Kohn’s 666 Model.” (G. Renzi)
