I've searched far and wide for the designer and maker of this chair. I found it five years ago and it was in a horrible condition. I have since cleaned it up and I've had it reupholstered. Now I'd like to know more about it.
I've scoured old books and magazines as well as online resources but I haven't been able to find anything similar.
Can you help me out? Thanks!

Probably Swedish or Danish origin
I live in Finland but I'm thinking that the chair should originate from Sweden or Denmark. It has a similar armrest style as the AX chair but that's where the similarities end.
I've attached a 'before' image of the chair where you can see the frame structure better.

I would say more Swedish...
I would say more Swedish than Danish. Are there any brandmarks?
Ekström, Berg and Mattsson did stuff like that. If you really want to know, take more pics of the back side, the springs.
