I have a pair of these chairs. They have been recently reupholstered and I believe originally the upholstery also covered the back of the seat and backrest. There are no marks anywhere. Frame is in oak. Origin is either Danish or one of the Scandinavian countries..any idea of a possible designer or manufacturer? Thanks for looking...

It is Danish after all 😉
I was not convinced of the Kodawood attribution since the backrest was different...but I can now be sure that the chairs are Danish and designed by Hans Olsen...as shown in the Danish Furniture Index

It was great to find out about the Kodawood though 😉
Thanks!
