Good Questions: Identify This Mystery Chair?

Does anyone know where you can buy this chair? I cut it out from a magazine which said it was designed by Christian Liaigre but according to the Holly Hunt showroom, it is not. Any ideas? Thanks.

The Chair is the AFRICA armchair by Promemoria - it's carried by Haroo and Haroo in Dallas Tx (and probably other places). Although it does look very Christian Liagre like. Here is a link to the site that has it:

Just to give credit where credit is due: the Promemoria furniture is all designed by the Italian Romeo Sozzi. His work is less rectilinear than and more curvacious than Liagre, and he uses more metals (loves copper). He deserves to be better-known in North America.

Yes, that is the Promemoria chair. I have an identical one with a smooth leather. Absolutely comfortable for at least two hours at a stretch. Build and finish is outstanding, as should be at the retail cost ($3400), thankfully I found a great deal on CL.
