Hello . . . Picked up this chair at the weekend. The seller was unsure of maker/designer but mentioned Peter Hvidt and also Sibast. I thought it looked more like Moller and the nearest I could find was Model 57 by JL Moller. The upholstery is not original as it was done by the sellers son a year or two ago. Any info appreciated.

The
backrest on the Moller 57 doesn't curve like that one.
