Looks like Friso Kramer's "Revolt" chair to me.

Hey, I was one of the people who helped design this table for our firm Gensler. The chairs were generously donated by Allsteel. It's called the Revolt chair. Check it out below:

Ask the people at Gensler (isn't this their display)?

Thank you! I can see what they are now, but I don't see a place to buy them at. Anyone?

The droolworthy table is actually our kitchen table in the Gensler San Francisco office. It was made from a local woodworker who salvaged a naturally fallen tree and turned it into this beautiful piece. I'm not sure of his contact information but there's a business just across the bay in Berkeley that has huge tree slabs that can be used in the same way. Here's their link:
