George Mulhauser was an American industrial designer known for his contributions to mid-century modern furniture. Born in 1922, Mulhauser gained recognition for his innovative and sleek designs during the mid-20th century.

Mulhauser is particularly associated with his work at Plycraft, a furniture manufacturing company based in Lawrence, Massachusetts. He joined Plycraft in the 1950s and played a significant role in creating iconic pieces that exemplified the mid-century modern aesthetic. One of his most famous designs is the "Mr. Chair," a lounge chair that became an emblem of the era.

The Mr. Chair, produced in the 1960s, featured a distinctive walnut shell and a curved, organic form. Its design was both comfortable and stylish, making it a sought-after piece for mid-century enthusiasts. The chair's innovative use of molded plywood reflected the influence of other prominent designers like Charles and Ray Eames.
