    Looking this up some images similar point to Adrian Reed as the designer and others point to Roger Tallon both around 70s-80s

    Am wondering does anyone know how to tell the difference?

    Mine is 30 cm in diameter and 47cm in height

    Thanks for any info 20250107_181535_resize_7.jpg 20250107_181550_resize_40.jpg 20250107_181627_resize_53.jpg 20250107_181641_resize_18.jpg 20250107_181702_resize_72.jpg

    Not familiar with the piece but... The plastic is probably helpful for dating.

    It is called the Suzy stool. When I googled Suzy stool all I saw was Adrian Reed, who designed it for Princes Design Works, London in the '80s.
    That doesn't mean they can't be wrong though, so let's wait for the others.

    @Ownedbybear may know.

    Thanks Any Jewelry.

    These show up online too described as French TS folding stools by Roger Tallon for Sentou, so im a bit confused as they look very sinilar to Adrian Reed Suzy stools. Screenshot_20250107-191713_Samsung Internet_resize_59.jpg Screenshot_20250107-191749_Samsung Internet_resize_10.jpg

    So am I.
    The Suzy stools were made of beech, and according to the listing you posted the Roger Tallon stool is made of maple. Maybe that is how you could ID it, although the design is still the same, so the confusion is still there.

    If it is any help, yours looks like beech to me, but I am no expert on wood.
    @verybrad , could you take a look at the type of wood please?:)
