Ergotopia is a German brand for office furniture, chairs in particular. Their desks look awesome as well.
They try to produce locally (germany) whenever feasible, a little more on that in their FAQ.

I use their electric standing desk, a Desktopia Pro model. It’s really good. Initially, I had to get several returns and re-deliveries of the bamboo desktop, as they never managed to deliver wood that was free from scratches or machine damage. They acted very well during the process and in the end I got a perfect product.
I also got one of their Ergohuman Plus chairs (not sold any more, as it seems). It’s very good quality, but the head rest is too far to the front if you have an erect spine. You can see the same in product pictures of their current chairs. I can’t really rest back my head (especially in reclined position) as the headrest keeps me in a rounded, hunched position. Note that this might not be the same for other people - I have a lot of ballet training and used to be a professional dancer. The chair might be perfect for “normal”, slightly hunched people.

I also got one of their chairs some years ago when my DX Racer started losing its outer layer and I didn’t feel well seated anymore. I liked it so much that I decided to buy one of their electric tables, too, when I moved to a new home with a bigger office. All with cable trays and holes in the desk for feedthrough. And I also really like it.

I bought one of these a few years ago, still works, still comfy to sit on a whole day. It was worth it.

You can find really high quality but a bit pricey office chairs at the german brand Interstuhl
Another really good option is the polish brand Nowy Styl. I own their chair Navigo myself and I am very happy with it.

Kinnarps from Sweden makes the best office chairs in my opinion.

They do make good quality, durable chairs and you can often find them refurbished on the second hand market.

Affordable, but not exactly what I would call ergonomic

I have an office chair from Ahrend which is comfortable and sturdy.
It’s a Dutch company.

There is a company called SpinaliS that makes these crazy spring-based ergo chairs for 'active sitting'. I tried them in the showroom near my work in Warsaw and rhey seemed to cause some relief in spine muscle fatigue. I'll be doing a 5-day trial with a leased chair some time soon to see if it works as a full-time chair. A bit expensive tho. Company itself seems to be from Ljubljana, (of kors, and so on and so on).

Martela, a Finnish company, can recommend

I have a Noblechairs Hero Black Edition, technically it's a "gaming" chair but it looks like an office chair (I use both for work and gaming)
Last time I checked they were made in Germany

Edit: I should mention the Hero series is for tall and/or wide persons, they have other series but they look a little bit more like gaming chairs

No idea about their chairs, but I built my pc in a Fractal North case last year. Absolutely love it.
