    Does any one know who the designer/maker of this chair is? It is low profile and the back is connected to the chair via a solid wood plank like a spine. All the wood connections are with wooden pegs. Thank you,
    V.

    The cat says "who cares; you're not selling my bed". Anything so designated by the cat is of course a cat bed.

    Just a guess but I thought Herman Miller.

    Somebody actually paid money for that and thought it was cool back in the day

    I think this is more Art Moderne (1940s) than MCM, and I am getting a Swedish vibe.

    Google "art moderne chair" for some examples and page down

    Forgot to add that what appears to be "pegs" are probably wood plugs inserted over countersunk screws.

    Thank you, for more information. So far google did not show any matching results. But I think you are right about the style and the period.

    Too late; it's been claimed. Abandon all clean pants ye who sit here.

    Thonet did some chairs with backs like this but this seems way oversized for them. .

    It looks a lot like Andre Sornay, but a bit more chubby.

    I still think it looks like a cat bed.

    Looks sort of like a foot stool that was trying to grow up to be a chair. :cat:
