I got this chair at a local estate sale and I have not been able to identify the maker or designer. They had some danish furniture at the sale and everything looked to be from the the 1960s or 1970s. I'm new to the forum and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

is there any evidence that the base has changed from a metal pedestal office type support to the present one?

The base looks to be original. There is no evidence that it ever had a pedestal office type base. Thanks for the reply.

base of chair
Thanks for the links. It does have the look of those chairs, but it is a bit different. The base does look to be original. The house it was in was like a time capsule and I don't think they ever changed or updated anything. There are no labels or other marks manufacturers marks so perhaps was made to copy a better design of the day. Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my inquiry.
