I've seen it a dozen times, but I've totally forgotten the ID and designer of the chair on the right. I know the Toadstool table on the left is by Nanna Ditzel. I thought the chair was hers too, but internet searches are coming up with nada.

The pic was taken in the Danish Design Centre in Copenhagen, BTW.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Nanna Ditzel, I believe.
My scary-fast attribution relies more on my ability to read the legend in the lower left corner than my encyclopedic design knowledge, of course.
Edit: Oops! didn't read your opening paragraph before posting-- sorry. Here's a Flickr photo of said chair, attributing it to Ditzel, for what it's worth:

Thanks but...
Thanks WHC, but I *think* that legend refers to the table (it's written twice, once in Danish, then underneath in English). And the manufacturer mentioned in the legend (Snedkergaarden) manufacture the table but not the chair as far as I can tell...

Sorry, posted the above...
Sorry, posted the above before your edit, WHC...
Thanks for confirming my suspicions. Does anyone know if the chair had a name?

It's a Ditzel!
I can tell you for shure it is a Ditzel.
The Dansih Museum of Art and Design "Designmuseum Danmark", have a database (furnitureindex.dk) where you can find records of almost every piece of Dansih furniture design in the 20th century.
The chair was designed in 1952 for the company Villette as far as I can see. It was not named back then.
