Cees Braakman ??????
Hi there,
I don't think your chair is Cees Braakman, at least not the Armchair FM06 made by Pastoe in 1958. The arms are different as is the back wire grid and the sub-structure. There was a Company called 'Draadvorm' Denhaag, that made similar wire furniture, but I don't know if they made your chair.

Hi there,
Its good that your chair is creating such interest. Unfortunately the evidence provided only suggests that it is Braakman/Pastoe chair. As you know, Cees Braakman was initially the designer for Pastoe before taking a bigger role in the company, his father was Managing Director.
The new Pastoe book'Pastoe,100 years of design innovation',2013 and the recent Pastoe Exhibition had no reference to your chair.
It looks like Braakman but there is enough different with it if it was made by someone else to fight a copyright law suit(I listed the differences in my prior message). There are a number of articles in 'Goed Wonen' of the 1960s about copies of famous designs.
I think the description should be 'In the style of Cees Braakman and A Dekker'
