Hi all, 

I saw this chair several years ago, locally and let it pass by. I remember I then found a reference about it. 

Last week I was able to buy one not so far away, in the Netherlands. I see there's another one being offered in the same country, maybe this could be a clue (I myself am in Belgium).

It's rather smallish or petite. My middle just fits between the front legs and I am a 1m84 man of (may I say) average build.

The chair maybe shows some ressemblance to Sibast products. The profile of the legs, the construction in the corners and the quality of the rosewood. 

Does anyone here have some leads?

Construction, the chair lost one of it's wooden corner connectors and I made some new one's out of scrap hardwood. The originals were actually rosewood. I made them broader, to strengthen the chair as the frame takes a lot of pressure on only a few spots.

Wow Lexi, this was more than I hoped for!

Thanks a lot. I now remember the adverts. 

Great to tie a designer to the chair, more specific a Norwegian and not just a 'copy' made in it's time to fit a popular style. 

Thanks thanks thanks!
