Anyone here who know something about this chair?

My thoughts: mid-century, modern, possibly danish/scandinavian?

If you take some sharp close up photos of the wood, it seems likely we can tell you where it is probably from.

Here are some photos (not too sharp tough) of the wood from different sections of the chair.

It looks like the arm rests are teak. Zig zag springs are not common in Danish work, but they do show up in Swedish and Norwegian pieces. I believe you are in Norway? That might suggest something. And the tacked on upholstery makes it look fairly early.
