I've seen this Kofod Larsen chair with the front legs on casters a few times. While looking through 1stdibs for references last night I came across a pair of chairs listed as Kofod Larsen chairs that are very similar to the ones I've seen in the past, but there are obvious differences. So my question to all of you is, are these real Kofod Larsen chairs or just very similar. I've posted pictures of the potential impostors as well as the common ones.

I've never seen these chairs before. I'd be very surprised if they turn out to be Kofod-Larsen, they don't even look Scandinavian in origin to me.

The first set or second set with casters only in front? Because I believe I've seen the second set with the red selig tag before.

Also I could definitely be wrong, but there are three or four different pairs of the second ones listed as Kofod Larsen. And I've always wondered how much these dealers actually do good research before listing things.

The chairs with the front casters only were sold by Selig. I do not believe the ones with casters front and back have any merit. I believe I have seen these Selig "Barrel Chairs" in a Selig catalog or Ad which identifies Kofod Larsen as the designer, but thus far I have not been able to find it.

The chairs with the front casters only were sold by Selig, just as tchp says. But they were NOT designed by Ib Kofod Larsen. They were designed by Finn Andersen.
