NY Good Questions: Who Can Identify This Chair?

1.9chair.jpgHello AT,

I've been trying to ID this chair ever since I saw it in "About a Boy" a few months ago.

I think it'll look perfect in my living space, but I haven't been able to track down any information regarding it.

It's hard to tell from the blurry picture, but the seat and back are woven leather and looks somewhat Wegner-ish. I'm hoping you or one of your readers could point me in the right direction. Thanks! Leo

(Note: Include a pic of your problem and your question gets posted first.)

I have sold a few vintage ones that look exactly like this except with rope instead of leather- they were from Yugoslavia from the late 40's and 50's.

Knoll sells a somewhat similar chair called the Risom Lounge Chair.
