I got this chair from a friend and i'm in the process of getting new pillows and giving it a new shine. Wondering if anybody knows who the designer is, looks sort of Finn Juhl but cant really find this exact one anywhere.

Can you post an image without the cushions, showing the rattan on the chair back?

I believe this link shows the upholstered version of that chair, but it too does not appear to have any identifying marks on it.

Thanks. Thats def. the same brand/type, look very similar indeed. I would really like to know what brand it is and if it has any history. If anybody else has seen any similar chairs links are much appreciated!

I think the designer might be Torbjørn Afdal, my chair is very similar to the chair Broadway that he designed. I keep searching for a model that matches mine but I can't seem to find anything.

Torbjørn Afdal For people interested/research.
I did some further investigation about the chair and it most likely is made by Torbjørn Afdal. He was a norwegian designer during the 50s and 60s. I live in norway and got the chair here, so that's one clue.
So, when I knew the designer might be norwegian, I went to a local store that specializes in furniture like this to see if they knew anything. There is a guy who works there who is supposed to know about the designer and maybe the chair, but unfortunately he is in Italy until next week. So maybe next week I'll get some answers.
Having some more free time I went to the library and tried to find some information, I found an article in a magazine displaying the chair linked earlier in this thread.
