I'm 99% sure that it is. There's a couple of photos of an almost identical chair on p. 36 and 37 of the 1999 International Design Yearbook (let me know if you'd like a scan), by B&B and credited to Citterio. The one in the book has a slightly different underframe configuration, and also looks like it might be a slightly different size- I don't know whether they made a few different sizes or whether the one in the book is a prototype.. But in all other respects it's identical (feet, general proportions etc.), and so if yours has a B&B label, you can be pretty sure it's by Citterio.
Thank you
I would really like scans of the yearbook pages and the cover if you could. I have never found any media on this chair until now.
I purchased it new at Smink in Dallas - the B&B rep here as a B&B chair...The owner still has a couple- but she could find no more info on it even herself or from B&B themselves.
I like to idea that it could be a more rare-single run chair or even a demo or prototype, so I kept it out of lots of other chairs.
