The structural principle - the cantilever, and the choice of materials - bent tubular steel and leather - belong to the former, but the overall shape sends us much later in time, to a more corporate-looking design.

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
