Dear Leanne,
Greetings and thank you for calling upon the experts at Mearto. You have an amazing thrift store find! This is a chair by designer Philippe Starck known as the Lio Comun armchair, there are side chairs as well and the design was released in the 1980s.
These are occasionally offered at auction and have sold in the range of $100 - $150USD. Well done, one of the nicest thrift store finds I've seen!
If you have any follow-up questions, I am at your service and thank you for reaching out to Mearto.
Kind Regards,
Erin-Marie
Were they produced with a smooth finish? These do not have the "embossed wood". There are several more, maybe more than a dozen. Do you come across fakes with the brand stamped on it?
