I have a very credible tip that this design is by Alfons Bach, for Lloyd.
Info about him is plentiful with a google search:Alfons Bach, 1904-1999, was a versatile modern designer of tubular steel furniture and other objects whose work was included in exhibitions of contemporary American industrial art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Mr. Bach was born and reared in Germany, moved to New York in 1926, became a freelance industrial designer and founded a design firm in Manhattan.
His objects were in several of the Metropolitan Museum\'s biennial shows of contemporary industrial art, beginning in 1934.
A tubular steel table and two chairs that he designed are at the Yale University Art Gallery. James D. Beebe, a specialist in the history of the decorative arts, said yesterday that tubular steel furniture designed by Mr. Bach for the Lloyd Manufacturing Company was made at its factory in Menominee, Mich., from the 1930\'s until 1947.
\'\'It wasn\'t really until the 1930\'s that modernism took a really strong hold on furniture design\'\' in the United States, said Mr. Beebe, who is a master\'s degree candidate at the Bard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts and is writing his thesis on the Lloyd company. He said that designs done for the company by Mr. Bach and a colleague, Kem Weber, are \'\'icons for their period\'\' in furniture design, which was 1930\'s modernism, including more and more streamlining as time passed.Dimensions in inches
