Picked up a walnut spindle hoop chair today while up in PA with the gf at a goodwill outlet center (the place where you buy stuff by the pound, never had seen one before) of all places. I knew of the selig version so i bought it.There is no Selig emblem and it is slightly different being there is no armrest built into the hoop and no fabric webbing or rear cross bar on rear legsMarked "DENMARK" on the bottom. I have seen a few of these listed as being attribited to IB Kofod Larsen. its very low and loungy The orginal fabric is a brown hallingdal style fabric which was recovered over twice with lessing skills. the foam is heavy, dry and crumbbling. taking pictures now and will be uploading tonight for tempoary purposes, here is the exact same chairs as mine https://www.etsy.com/listing/159636713/mid-century-danish-hoop-lounge-side

Here is a Selig Kofod Larsen hoop chair from an old catalog; very similar but not identical to the chairs in your link. Kofod Larsen often did variations of a common design theme, so yours could still be by him.

i know, super close, but like i said, missing the arm flares, seat webbing and forgot to mention no rear legs cross bar. mine seems lower than the selig version tho

To clarify, when I said he did variations of a design theme, I was referring to other chairs like the bucket/shell chairs. I was then theorizing that because of that precedence, he may also have done similar hoop chair designs.
