Anyone able to ID this chair?
Looks like someone threw an Alf Svensson, Illum Wikkelsø 'Model 10', and a Møre Lenestol 'Klarinett' into a bag, shook it up, and poured this out...
Any help greatly appreciated.
@marwood. Welcome to the Forum
I love the description of the chair!!
I have a gut feeling it is Norwegian so I checked a Norwegian FB page. Found 2 that are similar. Unfortunately the good people on that Forum are not sure who made or designed it; their best GUESS is an early Hans Brattrud chair for Dokka Mobler. ( no documentation)
The purple chair has a much higher back rest which might explain the brackets at the rear.
I think your chair may have been re upholstered at some stage, which would explain the different cushion profile.
Posting images anyway so you could do further research.

@tktoo2. You are possibly correct as it is shown with a foot stool. I will go look for more photos!
EDIT; Yes the purple one has a reclining mechanism similar to the ones used on Alf Svensson's Contour chairs.
And the stool is definitely designed by Hans Brattrud and Frode Braathen for Dokka Mobler ; circa 1960.

@lexi, I think you are right about the re-up of the OP's chair. In fact all of the chairs pictured so far appear likely reupholstered to me. Nice-looking pieces, regardless.
Didn’t mean to appear ungrateful by not thanking you for the very helpful responses. Got banned again; don’t know why. I ran out of e.mail addresses to register again.
Third times the charm, I hope 😉
Funny, I looked for this chair for weeks, couldn’t find it, and now seeing them pop up in searches. Google algorithm I suppose.
Thanks so much; hope you can help me with a couple other items.
Greatest respect and appreciation.

@marwood_ Please contact Elizabeth. It would be nice to see and read more from you. Unfortunately I as a moderater do not have the power to unban you.

Thanks again…
I’ll take my chances with this account; feelin’ pretty lucky, thus far 🙂
