Title: Anyone know who designed this?
Post by: Jameshub on October 31, 2015, 12:52:24 PM

i have been given this chair and I am wanting to sell it but I have no idea who designed it so I have no idea of value.

it came with another charge which is a 1960s Vintage Retro Maurice Burke Arkana Safari Chair, so I'm not sure if its the same designer

That one had a range of between 1000 and 4999 euros !! Would depend on how his designs have done in your locality and what the condition is !!  Use your search engine to check your area !!

Great job Mart!  Just a little more information - these I belive were designed by Maurice Burke but conflicting manufacturers show manufactured  by Pozza of Brazil and/or Italy.

Does you chair have any tags, etc on it?

Here's one to watch on ETSY
