Description
"The capricious Bowling chair, so-named for its 3-ringed bowling ball holes bored into the seat back, was designed for the Casino de Montreal. Dismo, the Montreal furniture “editeur”, arranged for the original production of the chair with BSG. In 2000, Kiosk acquired the license to manufacture the design."
