Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
I found Nils Ahner at the site of Dieter Staedeli. Nils Ahner started in 2000 working with Ulrich Fries, Thonet Antik, in Berlin and started in 2016 his own Thonet and other bentwood furniture repair and trade shop in Berlin with the apt name Biegen oder Brechen (Bend or Crack). You can find the shop at the Bleibtreustrasse 53 in D-10623 Berlin, Germany.
Via a comment one of my readers sent me photo’s of a mystery bentwood chair. From what I know from Thonet, they never produced bentwood chairs with styles of turned wood.
No labels or other imprints than an 8, or is it a scorpio or crab alike sign?
Maybe our readership has an idea?

I’ve been focusing on intuitive construction methods and spontaneous form building with industrial materials to make furniture. My aim is to rhythmically grow each piece to realize a liminal position between metaphor and utility. The forms pursue beauty within chaos while expressing an honest craft on obvious construction to reimagine seating objects that discover a poetic moment in design.
