The linear design is similar to a cubic volume; the supports, on the other hand, are thin and anatomically shaped surfaces. The seat and back are molded from plywood and bolted to the crossbars along the center. The back has a cut in the lower part, necessary for the presence of a reinforcement that reacts to torsional stress, which is stronger at this point. Overall these are refined, elegant chairs that adapt to any domestic environment. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
