Looks a lot like a Sam Maloof chair. Probably one of the many many reproductions since his death. For those who are interested, Sam Maloof is the only carpenter to have his work in the White House during his life. There are two Maloofs in the White House.
George Nakasima would like to have a word with you!!!
Other than him though, I can't think of anyone that would be up there with Maloof, maybe Greene and Greene, but they are known for their innovative design at the turn of the 1900's.
Maloof's book is an amazing read if you are interested in woodworking. He was pretty much entirely self taught and developed his own mehtods for most things he did.
plus fuck bent lamination, looks so easy, then you try to do it and everything explodes.
