Does anyone have any idea who designed and made this set? I have been trying to find anything similar to these chairs and loveseat but have not been successful yet. I'm sorry for the poor quality photos but thats all I have right now, I just purchased them today. I will try to post better photos soon. The set seems to be all leather and well made. There are no lables on the bottoms but there are tags with numbers and small swatches of the original leather. I would really appreciate any information you could provide.Thanks, Will

There something a little reminiscent of chairs called "Windy" by a Dutch (I think) designer named Gijs Papavoine for a company called Montis. It's the slant of the legs.
I could be all wrong. Just a hunch to follow.

Thanks for the information. That chair does have a similar look. I have a couple of people checking into this. Hopefully someone will know more.
Thanks again, Will

Thanks Hazelnut, I can definitely see the style similarities but haven't found any reference yet to this set by searching through his work. I'll keep looking.
Thanks, Will

It makes me think of Dutch Designer Gerard Van Den Berg. Just guessing though.

Hi Dusted, I definitely see similarities to his work as well but still have not found a match. I have shot some additional photos and will include some with this post.
Thanks, Will
