Hi guys,

I'm pulling my hair out trying to pin point this one. Must have looked at every 1960s/70s chrome and leather lounge chair on the internet.

Can anyone put me out of my misery?

Thanks!

looks like this is in the style of Olivier Mourgue and Patrick Mourgue.

You might want to check out Sedia Steiner Italy (Patrick Mourgue) or Airborne International France (Olivier Mourgue).

In terms of construction and materials (not design), it has strong similarities to the "Joker" chair from Olivier Mourgue.

@randomer. Only 4 years later. Based on the photos you have posted ( a photo of the back of the chair could give a 100% positive ID), your chair is designed by Gisle Carlsen and made by Klepppe Mobelfabrikk , Norway. Link to Mats Linder's page featuring this chair. You may not have the chair anymore but posting image and link for the record.

The nesting tables and trolley are often miss-attributed as a design by Richard Young for Merrow Associates. UK
