    Hello everyone, greetings from Uruguay!

    I’ve bought this beautiful chrome and leather accent (lounge?) chair but I can’t find any info about it. Any ideas of the model/designer please?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance! M

    Thanks Marote! It was my first guess but I could not find any further references. In case it helps, both the seat and the back have zippers, not sure if that could give an extra hint? Anyway, I appreciate your support! Best, M

    Definitely Charlie! However, those zippers I mentioned to Marote may indicate that this is a more modern chair, my guess would be 70-80's but not sure at all!

    the only difference is that bottom connecting bar, and the height, yours is more squat, so i can understand the scrutiny, but i like the fact your not totally jumping on the affiliation

    Is it just the pic or does Op's piece look wider than the chairs posted ? I get a newer vibe too. This look was popular well into the 90s .

    Woow thank you all for joining this treasure hunt :)

    You are all well oriented but it is not definitely the Enzo Mari's ones - those are regular chairs (if you know what I mean) while the one I bought is an accent/lounge one, wider (as johnnycb09 well said) and lower (not suitable for dinning). BTW, zippers are not metallic but kind of plastic (but great quality) - another clue that this is more modern maybe? And just FYI, I found the first picture (the one with the white background) at one of this stock photos sites, which happens to be Italian (but I've seen it in other sites of this type as well):

    https://www.alamy.it/elegante-sedia...e185003271eec009f911801e14f68e21&searchtype=0

    My point here is that it is good enough just to be offered in a site like this (together with other furniture design classics), right?

    I'll keep on looking, please let me know if you have any other thoughts/suggestions to share with me. Thanks once again to you all!

    Welcome Martin.
    Also on Delfina the legs have a slight sideways curve at the bottom, and Martin's chair has straight legs. It is also wider.
    Ditto.

    The person who posted the photo is in Malaysia. But of course furniture and designs travel.
    We will.
    And someone could come across this thread and know the designer and reply. It wouldn't be the first time that happened.

    You left out pictures. It is always important to show back and bottom of all furniture because these are the views not meant to be seen. May not help in this case, but usually does.
