Hello;
Can anyone please clarify the differences between these 2 chairs. I see 2 very similar chairs identified by both names. My closes approximation is that the SM122 is a slightly smaller version, meant for a desk, while the 150 is a dining chair? Or perhaps just slight variations? Or maybe 2 names for the same chair?
A chair is being sold locally and its measurements did not match ones that I have seen before (for the 150) and thought that it could perhaps be a variation. Antik Modern cited a chair as SM122; but do not see a tonne of attribution to that model number.
Did anyone other than Soborg make this chair?
can someone please help?

There was no Søborg Møbler model 150. What I see in the above photos is model 155.
Can you post a photo of the chair in question and the measurements?

thanks @leifericson sorry that 150 was a typo, meant to type 155
The picture of the group is 155's pulled from 1st dibs, I believe.
Of the 2 chairs in question; the one with wooden floors is from Antik Modern and attributed as SM122.
The other chair, picture outside measurements are 30 inches tall to the back, 17 inches tall at the seat, the back is 18 .5 inches wide by 11.75 inches tall. The seat is 19.75 inches wide by 15.75 inches deep.
These measurements are slightly different from what I have seen for 155s and wondering if it might be a different model? a knock off? or what?

I thought I would have measurements in one of my Søborg catalogs, but there are no measurements for the chairs in any of the catalogs. I had not realized that.
The SM 122 has vertical legs and a much smaller backrest. I suppose it looks a little bit similar. Antik Modern is wrong with the model number.
I would not think that there would be knockoffs off this design.
And I would not be too surprised if the dimensions were a little bit different over time.

Thanks @leifericson !
That was my thought (in regards to the vertical legs and smaller backrest) as I saw some chairs perhaps attributed to SM122, but couldn't nail anything down.
I was a bit shocked because the chair I am interested in has slight difference in measurements from the 155, but generally speaking it looks pretty similar and assume it is the variation of dimensions over time that you mentioned.
Hopefully it is still available to add to my collection!
Thanks!
