I bought 3 of these off CL recently and have searched high and low for a designer/manufacturer or at least another example of them. I haven't had any luck at all. They are heavy and seem to be pretty well made, that's about all I can tell you at this point lol. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi
They seem like a derivative design to me.

They are in the style of Kjaerholm and Fabricius/Kastholm but aren't either.
That said, I think they are pretty nice chairs.

Cool chairs.
Seem american office furniture to me (lobby chairs) and
are indeed derived from thing like the barcelona and the kjaerholms.
Casting on the feet seems a bit rough, wich indicates lesser quality.
Foam seems to have gone on the seat.

Thanks for all the help and...
Thanks for all the help and replies. The seat part of the chair seems most influenced by a Florence Knoll slipper lounge chair without the parallel bars. The legs are what is most unique about them to me. The casting on them looks to be pretty good quality, maybe it's just a bad picture angle. I think they are most likely from the 70's maybe late 60's. I thought they might be manufactured by the company "partrician" but not really anymore. I saw this new chair in one of my many image searches, it's about as close I've came lol. The search continues....
