    Hey Everyone,
    I'd love some help identifying this chair, and find out what it's missing.
    It looks very similar to 1960's Farstrup styled chairs. Its made in Japan with the handwritten number " 2472296'
    I purchased this broken chair and found it was filled with just a mess of screws drilled everywhere. I am wondering how the seat should sit and rest. There are only 2 dowels in the front to line the seat up. I noticed it the inside frame has 2 holes on each side for some sort of crossbars ( BUT it does resemble a wooden drill bit hole.
    Any suggestions on how I should attach the seat would be great. Size wise It seems to be for a young Adult.

      I have some Scandinavian chairs which have 4 metal dowels with a hole through one end, in which a screw goes through into the underside of the seat after the dowels are inserted into 4 holes at the top of the seat leg frame. Not sure if that helps you!
