The manufacturer is Mogens Kold Møbelfabrik - no idea on designer, but a bit of Googling might yield something.

Edit: The little voices at the back of my mind are telling me that Arne Hovmand-Olsen may be a good place to start for a designer search.

Oh, they're always whispering designer names to me. Much cheaper then reference books, I can tell you.

After looking through a few of my reference books I'm fairly sure that this chair is by Arne Hovmand-Olsen, c.1955.

I can't find an identical one, but I did find one that's very much the same except for the back-rest, firmly attributed to him.

Here's an online example of it: http://www.square-interiors.com/pages/furniture/furndetail_p03.html

yes the seat is identical just the back and the front legs seem square. Also no cross struts on the legs mine are all perfectly solid despite their age.
