I picked this one up today. It has a double bar frame with a space between the bars and barcelona style cushions and strapping. All parts are extremely well made and it is seriously heavy. Any ideas?

Kurt Thut, c. 1956 for Tschannen Metalbautechnik, AG. Switzerland
I remember this chair stumping me before in this old thread (click below). Love the look, is it comfortable?

Its Thut all right.
I spent a long time looking for the designer. It is Thut. I have a sofa and two chairs. Is your chair leather or nagahyde? Look inside--I thought mine was leather but on the inside it says "nagahyde".
I think it is rare to find Thut chairs in this country.

Quite comfy actually, due to it being low I think. This one has leather cushions. I am impressed with the precision in the frames.
