Hi There, I've just discovered the forum so am asking questions about chairs I have had a while, can't find who designed or made them! This one is Ercol-ish, I know there was a company here (south africa) called 'Lubis' that made ercol copies - the day bed they added a middle leg for some reason?
is this designed by ercol? Thanks

Looks to be
Ercol (or a copy)
Here's a genuine example to compare :

Interesting - it does seem to be an Ercol copy - at least they chose the best chair Ercol ever did!

OOPS!
sorry.. link worked when I first uploaded it
But yes, it's the same chair as Paulanna's..
So the original chair is a copy, but without the bent/ curved arms
