Barcelona chair and ottoman
Just bought a Barcelona chair and ottoman at auction for (what I hope is) a bargain! Can anyone help with dating and who the manufacturer may be?
It seems to tick a lot of the Knoll boxes but the fasteners and rivets are a bit of a question mark. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Clearly vintage
... but it does not look like Knoll production to me. I've never seen a Knoll barcelona chair with that type of fastener to hold the cushions on, plus vintage Knoll would have screws attaching the straps rather than pop rivets.

I think you should still fix it up, clean and condition the leather, and enjoy it.

BTW, that is actually a stool, not an ottoman.
