No, idea Ed but it looks very comfy and pre-loved. What does 'one of the flats' mean please?

Hello Ed

The look seems to fit either Norwegian or Danish design. Did you check under the arms or literally under the feet for any stamps or labels? A view of the back of the chair could also help with ID in terms of country of provenance.

MMMMmmmm, the lack of a canvas backing would eliminate Norway and Denmark as a possible country of origin. Those country tend to use a strong canvas backing, although there is usually a difference in the way it is attached to frame. Could be a locally made (UK) product?
