Hohner Echo Elite

 

Hohner commissioned John Vassos to redo the look of their harmonica for the 1933 Chicago World Fair. The result was this sleek art deco-styled Echo Elite. Production was stopped when Hohner geared up for munitions during WW2. The design was popular enough that production was restarted after the war.

My parents had some of those chairs back in the 50's. They called them the "butterfly chairs".

Exactly. It was designed by designers in Le Corbusiers studio in Argentina in 1938. Also known as the Hardoy chair, or BKF chair, after designers Bonet, Kurchan and Jorge Ferrari Hardoy,
