The
Ikea chair had metal legs, similar back and seat though
I've seen these chairs both in this light finish and a darker finish in several cafes across London
I'll take a snap next time I spot one

Habitat
It's from Habitat, from about 4-5 years ago, there was a matching table too. Pret a Manger used to have them in their sandwich shops for a while.

This is the chair I was thinking about the nordmyra. I always wanted to get a set of those g plan chairs for the kitchen table I think they are quite underated.

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:

Oh, sorry, I just did see...
Oh, sorry, I just did see that you asked what it is worth.
I have no idea what it is worth currently (Habitat discontinued the chair a couple of years back), but it originally retailed in the shop at around 100 euro, if I am not mistaken.
