This is a toughy, because no pic. But it is just unusual enough it might ring a bell with someone. It is composed of four pieces of bent wood. These four pieces are bolted together to form a four leg base, a pedestal and then they radiate out to four corners. The back corners are top of chair back height. The front corners are front of seat cushion height. Each corner has a chrome, fixed, rectalinear loop. A canvas hammock with leather corers and metal hooks is hung from each corner. This canvas hammock is sewn in two sections--a seat and a back. The seat has a wood or metal loop sewn into it that forms the set cushion. Amazingly, this loop that forms the seat cushion also causes the fabric of the seat back to gracefully curve back to the top of the seat back and result in lumbar support. A wonderful, thin leather seat cushion then hangs from the top of the canvas seat back, forms over the curving canvas seat back, makes a 100 degree bend into a flat seat cushion and extends to just beyond the front edge of the canvas seat edge. When you sit down in the chair, the four bent wood frame sections flex to conform to your entry and then orient you into this sublimely comfortable position. At first glance, this chair looks a little like a cheapy from Ikea, or Pier One, but the design is so elegant and so effective that I wonder if it were done by some well known designer. Its kind of like sitting down in the palm of a four fingered hand. Anyone heard of a chair like this?
It is so much more comfortable than most of the 4 pronged metal chairs with a fabric hammock than I have ever set it.

It could be......
Your description sounds very familiar.
Check out the photo. It also sounds like a chair which was manufactured by Westnofa.

Podboy, you are incredible...
That is the exact chair! Thank you so much. I'm going to start a new link to find out about this designer.
