There is an interesting story behind this armchair. Although this armchair is often attributed to Louis van Teeffelen, we have learned from Louis van Teeffelen's family that they can confirm it is indeed a Walraven & Bevers (WeBe) armchair, but they are not certain whether Louis van Teeffelen is the designer. The investigation is ongoing, as the design could also be that of Arne Hovmand Olsen.

Additionally, the armchair is known by two names: the Wing Chair or the Penguin Chair.

Whoever the designer is, and whatever the chair is called, it is a beautiful, organically shaped armchair that is also very comfortable to sit in.

The chair has been reupholstered in a beautiful brown melange fabric and fitted with new foam.

The armchair is 53 cm wide, 65 cm deep and 75 cm high, with a seat height of 40 cm. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
