Does this name mean anything to anybody?
Danish, German??
Thanks to somebody called Kim Fischer I can't find anything on Google.
It's on the back of a wardrobe, along with the name Futraform, I'm intending to sell, and would like an ID. Thanks!
*those amongst us who don't like IDing things that might be for sale, please feel free not to comment.

a very nice wardrobe,
indeed. being german, i can tell you that kom. stands for "Kommission" which means consignment, so the wardrobe was probably made for someone called Fischer and is german. it was common for small manufacturers in germany in the 50s and 60s to handwrite consignment information on the back of furniture, i know it from my grandparents' furniture. unfortunately futraform brings up nothing on google...
robert,
another thing i learned from my grandparents is that people used to have very strange handwritings. maybe i says "intraform"? that could be a clue. according to the link, there was a distributor of that name in munich.

I read intraform instantly,...
I read intraform instantly, wich seems apropriate for names of that era, here in belgium, germany & holland.
It looks very danish to me, or swedish maybe. The legs aren't tapered, I noticed almost all popular furniture from that period, influenced by danish design, have tapered legs.
In my experience it were only the danes themselves using more bold designs in construction, like cabinets by Hvidt (straight, round legs), straight legs by Wegner, the plump Arne vodder legs etc...
Intraform
I googled "German script handwriting letters" (without the quotes) and found this one for "Kurrent" script. The upper case I is nearly identical to the one on the back of the wardrobe while the upper case F looks like an italic lower case f in whatever the modern American/English script called.
