Hi there,
Haven't been here for a while, and it feels great to be back!
Hopefully I will be spending some of my time here from now on 🙂
I have found a chair looking identical to the one on picture (this is much better picture). The description on webpage says midcentury chair, very helpfull. Owner says its a chair from the sixties, but thats only thing he can tell, maybe you boys and girls will be able to give me some insight 🙂
thank you for your help and time,
L

Hmm...it looks pretty Overman-ish to me. But more of a Tennessee Overman than Swedish Overman. I've redone some of the former and they have that big wide shape to the bottom of the chair, almost squarish, and very low-slung. The base looks like Overman, too. The upholstery methods look like Overman, too, especially the way the front under the cushion is done.
Are you sure it's leather and not vinyl? I don't think I've ever seen an Overman done in leather---always vinyl. That particular color was very common in the Tennessee Overmans.

Thanks mate!
It does look Overman-ish does it? Most likely it is! I don' say that is bad, I like the way it looks!
Its just probably my luck in finding every single Overman in UK 🙂
I am waiting for the confirmation from the owner about the leather! Let see and hope for a surprise 🙂
I will update the thread when !
for now thank you for your time and help Spanky 🙂
best,
