zoomed in and cropped for easier viewing

There are certainly many attributions to Mathsson online but we all know how unreliable internet claims are. It is similar in ways to the Mathsson "Karin" chair and the draping over the top of the back is like the arms on the leather-upholstered Pernilla, so that's probably where that came from.

I found this 1stDibs listing for a low back version that includes a tentative ID from IKEA.

Nakamura also designed a chair called the Poem for IKEA, which I guess is the precursor to his Poang chair---same tufted leather upholstery draped over the top, but on the wooden Poang frame.

None of that guarantees that your chair is Nakamura, of course. Just more information to consider.

spanky i see the resemblance with the cushion The Blomquist chairs (and daybed) of Ikea (cataloque 1973?) for example have a strong resemblance with the frame of the Dux/Mathsson

This is a Noburu Nakamuru for IKEA. The name of the chair is BORE. It should however have small wheels on it. The article below is from a Norwegian catalogue from 1981. This was the first time this was sold in leather in Norway. There is a earlier model in some kind of fabric. I am pretty sure however, that it was sold in the 70s in Sweden.
