I have this chair. It’s largely stainless steel on a substantial pedestal. I inhereted it and have no idea of its heritage, but I’m pretty sure it’s, well, something.

The question is, how do I identify what it is and who made it? Is there like, a website?

I’m in Australia, but I’m sure-ish it’s imported.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

M

Excellent question - won’t be able to do so until after the weekend, but I will post one shortly.
