Mystery Magnus Olesen Chair?
Can anybody recognise the designer of this armchair? it is clearly marked with the Magnus Olesen signature mark along with the Danish maker stamp but after spending a fair bit of time searching through various Magnus Olesen chairs I can't find anything similar.

Thanks in advance!

It appears to be a Model 141, designed by Kai Kristiansen.

hmmm
Thanks for that H.Moon but the arms seem to be very different from the Kai Kristiansen chairs out there, this chair has very straight edged arms that taper sharply underneath...

I have attached another image of the side profile to illustrate this more clearly..
