I have a picture of you (Benjamin) and I (Dad) sitting in it in our London apartment before we moved to the U.S. in 1984, which I will give to you. My Mom (your grandmother) and I bought the chair, with a footstool in 1965, a year or two after my dad died. We decided we needed to brighten up the house a little, so we went to the G-Plan store and bought the chair and the footstool. At the time "contemporary" furniture, with lots of leather and teak, highly influenced by the clean lines of Scandinavian furniture design, was very popular. G-Plan was one of the biggest manufacturers of contemporary furniture. The chair is even in a furniture museum in England! - here is the link: http://gplancabinets.datagate.net.uk/cms/CMSFiles/news/news948.asp I am so glad you have hung onto the “Dr Evil” chair.
