Hello

I have a leather slung armchair which is clearly marked George Tanier - Made in Denmark and would be very grateful if anybody has an idea who the designer was. I can't find anything similar. I think the frame is oiled oak wood. The leather seat and back rest are wrapped around dowels which are then inserted into the side of the frame to fix (last picture). Size width and depth = 68cm, height = 71cm.

Many thanks

Sarah

Nice chair. George Tanier was a NYC based importer, so I guess you can also add the manufacturer to your search.

Thank you. Unfortunately I can't find a way to edit this post to add manufacturer to the search but would really appreciate if anyone has any ideas on either.

Very pretty chair. The oiled oak seems surprising to me. I mean there are Danish pieces that are oiled oak, but not many....

Et voila: Illum Wikkelsø for Aarhus Møbelfabrik or earlier A. Mikael Laursen

And it follows the Wikkelsø design rule that you have to be able to sit in the chair with your leg over the arm.

That's amazing. Thank you so much for identifying for me; I'd given up hope. The person who sold them to me said they were Nanna Ditzel which I knew wasn't right. Many, many thanks
