Hey everyone. Any ideas who the designer of this might be? It's made by DUX. Folke Ohlsson perhaps? 

Thanks-Matthew

Dux is a swedish company and Folke O. is swedish. The chair certainly has similarities with e.g. Folke’s USA 75 chair, but it’s a different one. Are you sure about Dux being the manufacturer?

Henjon...thanks for your reply. Here is the stamp which says, "Dux" and "Made in Denmark". Very strange. Is this legit?

I’m not absolutely sure, but Dux putting a ”Made in Denmark” stamp on a chair would be strange. There are more similar ones out there, see link. Smells a little like USA 75 copies... Would be great if someone had facts on this matter

Dux produced another similar chair in the 50's ; Model "USA 143" which is closer in style to the OP's.

Yes, very similar but made in Sweden and with metal feet, I believe.
