Can anyone help me find out the designer of this Artifort chair? I was told it was Artifort and although it has no label it clearly has an impression in the underside shaped like the usual long rectangular Artifort labels.

It is vinyl with chromed fittings and very heavy. Any help greatly appreciated as Google and my reference books has yielded nothing.

Thanks!

Geoffrey Harcourt...
Not that I know this for a fact, but I found a similar chair on the net. The seller (who is a dealer, as he has another 25 or so posts on that site) refers to it as being designed by Geoffrey Harcourt. Only the base is different. I'll keep my eyes open and keep you posted.

original link...
here's the original link to the site of the shop that sells it. I will also have a look through some Artifort yearbooks. Maybe you can send Artifort a mail with your pictures. They can probably instantly tell you exactly what you have...
good luck

FYI, Artifort say..
I got an email back from Artifort, the chair is indeed by Geoffrey Harcourt and is the 037 model designed in 1962.
Thanks,
Ben.

Chair 037 by Harcourt for Artifort
Hi Ben,
I just saw the discussion on the forum. I knew my chair was by Harcourt because the lable on the bottom said so. I didn't know the type number and year of design. Thanks to your information I can put the correct date on my site.
Thanks, Paulien
