Anybody able to help out with an ID on this?  Appears to be a rosewood frame, and somewhere between a lounge chair and desk chair in terms of utility.  

The design feels familiar, and I thought I had an ID saved somewhere.  But no luck.

@stjamm The chair looks familiar because it is reminiscent of late Finn Juhl designs for France and Son. A mixture of Diplomat, Bwana and Jupiter. However, I fear that this is more likely to be an Inspired by than a Finn Juhl.

Thanks for that @Herringbone 

I'm no expert on Danish (British is more my area) furniture but Finn Juhl was the designer that sprang to mind, and I did do some extensive searching.  

As you say, likely inspired by rather than designed by.

@stjamm Just found a similar design by Kurt Østervig for Slagelse. For what it’s worth.
