I just bought it at an auction. It is advertised as a Jean Gillon chair, who I researched and found out founded Italma Wood Art in brazil. I looked at some google images of his furniture, and found very similar chairs upholstered in leather. Anyone know anything about this chair?

lafer?
Maybe its a Percival Lafer or Arne Norell style safari chair and they threw the sheepskin on it because the leather was damaged or worn...looks like a marriage to me...

Reminds me of a Brazilian version of the Flag Halyard Chair.

Thanks everyone
I figured it would be controversial.
This is the closest thing I could find:

My dog would absolutely love ...
My dog would absolutely love this chair. She'd hop right up in there curl up and snore.
And I just bumped into this photo of what has to be the same chair just with the sheep shorn. It is marked Jean Gillon and Italma.
Does the sheepskin upholstery appear original?

Josh,
Your chair is fine, and is destined to becoming a "conversation topic" amongst your design minded friends. It's probably cozy, too. I just wouldn't know what to wear when sitting in such a chair....or not wear? My old cat would dig it.
sheepishly yours,
Aunt Mark
