Rescued from an office building in the Netherlands. I dont think its a Dutch design but I am not sure what it is. All I know is that I love the chair and its very heavy and at least 30 years old. And the owner of the building loved Mies. Any suggestions?

Hi meer,
I like your chair too.
I doesn't look Scandinavian to me. There are only three Danes that come to mind when I look at the steel legs - Poul Kjaerholm or Fabritius/Kastholm. Arne Norell (as Swede) also used steel legs like those. But this is another style.
You sure it isn't Mies van der Rohe?

The form of the armrests screams nineties to me, also the chrome seems more newish.I would guess it's a german product, 20 years old.

That's the DoDo F397 chair designed by René Holten for Artifort in 1997.

Yes it is! So it is Dutch after all. I was completely looking in the wrong decade. So thank you all very much for figuring this mystery out. I still love my chair and its even more because I know who made it.
