Daisaku Cho
.. is the japanese guy who designed the chair. Habitat UK re editioned the chair in beech, under the name "Daisaku Chair" (yeah, no points for original naming strategies).
I think it was more than four years ago though - I am pretty sure, as it must have been around the name that I first started to take an interest in this sort of thing.
Mr Daisaku is prob better know for another chair in the west:
