I've been trying to find out about a pair of chairs I've recently acquired. I've found a couple of places online that have named these chairs as the Circle chair by Yngve Ekstrom, but I'm not convinced. They are not labelled or marked at all and although pretty looking things aren't constructed to a high standard. Would love to know more about them - any clues ?

Not Ekstrom
This is not the hoop chair that Ekstrom designed. Can't find a photo online right now....

Sorry, I meant Selig
Likely designed by Kofod-Larsen.

I have one of these and yes, it has the circular Selig label underneath. Didnt know it was Kofod-Larsen as I was never able to confirm a designer? I dont see it in the furniture index under Kofod-Larsen but then again I am not sure that everything is actually in the index.

Yes,
That was my point as well. The chair that I was thinking of and posted here is different from the OP chair. I believe it is a Kofod-Larsen design and not a Yngve Ekstrom design. I previously thought that Ekstrom also designed a hoop chair (also different from the OP chair) but I could be mistaken or confused.

The 2nd chair is identified by Kofod Larsen in an old Selig catalog.

Decopedia lists the OP chair ...
Decopedia lists the OP chair as being "attributed" to Ekstrom, so I guess others are not so sure either. I have also seen it described as "Made in Italy, designed by Yngve Ekstrom".

I am actually not one of the guys here with the impressive catalog collections. Wish I was. That was from an online posting of some Selig catalog pages at the website you can order Fagas straps from.

Erm... this thread is just a few posts below this one titled "Italian Cair I.D."

I always thought it was an Ekstrom design but the made in Italy kinda suggests its not.
Someone needs to start a pieces often misattributed thread... I know a good few.
