Lucky you! That's a great chair.

It's pretty! Does "pretty" count as a style? ;)

hey i found what looks to be the same chair here in nyc. Working on replacing the current torn vinyl seat with something else. any suggestions? pattern/ material

wow! great find!

Really lovely!
I agree it is Danish modern in style. Beautiful blonde wood, birch??
However I think it was made in USA. It looks like HEYWOOD WAKEFIELD CHAIRS, mid century, USA.

I agree with the above guess that it's an American made version of Danish Modern. I purchased 4 very similar chairs on Craigslist myself. The legs on your chair do taper in a much more refined way than mine do. I think it's very unlikely to be particularly collectible or to have a famous designer behind it, but it's still a classic, interesting and useful chair (and free!).

I saw some like it on craigslist, too, here in L.A. - not as nice, and for $220 for 4 - congratulations on your find.

I have almost exactly the same chair- found in the back of an old cofeeshop- I stripped it as it was in pretty bad shape then teak oiled it and covered the seat in black- it's now my computer chair!

found the answer randomly!
