This beautifully designed plywood chair is a mystery to us!

Marked on the underside with an old THONET label, the design bears a distant resemblance to František Jirák's "Lollipop" chair for Tatra and is very similar to the Tonneau chair designed by Pierre Guariche for Steiner in 1954, but according to Thonet, it is a rare model, the

Wannenstuhl 661

designed by Günther Eberle and produced from 1954 to 1959


Either way, it is clearly a rare and beautifully designed model with plenty of vintage charm!



The chair offered here is in very good used condition. Apart from slight signs of wear, there is a small defect in the veneer on the underside (see detailed image).
