David Fox launched the Magic stool for Boss Design, a seating element in the shape of a mushroom. Inspired by fungi, the stool is both fun and functional with a sturdy steel base and an upholstered top.
Unusual shape
The stamp reads Thonet Austria
And the paper label says Thonet Vienna
One of our readers asks if there are more details known of this Thonet Austria bentwood chair that belonged to her grandmother who moved from Germany to the USA in the 20ies.
Update Februaryu 2017:
Via 1stdibs I came across this chair:
The Mystery chair seems alike the Thonet no 28 in how the legs are placed. However the back is totally different.
One of my twitter contacts likes to know more about this plywood mystery chair. Anybody?
Update:
On our FaceBook page we got this comment:
at a first glance it appears to be another material, perhaps vacuummolded plastic and then veneered on the surface. (because of the doublecurve) But it could perhaps be a designschool experiment of testing limits of curving plywood. What does the backrests centerline look like in a closeup examination? The combination with that type of legs suggests some kind of danish origin (or maybe, maybe could be japanese)
JFK any thoughts or better photos?
