Hi there,

I was able to adopt these chairs from my neighbors and I am in love with the shapes. 

I already did some searching/digging myself and they do remind me of some of Hans Wegners' Lounge chairs, but he doesn't seem to be the designer. Can anyone help me ID them? Would love to learn more about their history!

Kindness,

Heleen (the Netherlands)

Interesting chairs. Did some research in the internet, but was not successful. Maybe some not very known manufacturer? Beside Wegner also some other disigners used this shape for their rockers such as Holger Georg Jensen or Fredrik A. Kayser.

The handrests look dutch, too. I remember that bovenkamp altered a Danish design (M+S) and added similar handrests for the dutch market.

Ah! Thank you for the tips! The chair in the picture is quite identical indeed..

I will have a look into the Dutch designers/manufacturers you mention. M+S is a dutch manufacturer too?

Anyhow, thank you very much! Getting closer 😉

M+S is a fashion chain or boutique as far as i know not a furniture company it doesnt ring a bell Most producers out off the period of your chair used full names  like geldreland  topform  webe (i doent think its webe or coja) Cpould be ofV&D wich is a 'shoppingmall"   if youca rea dutch look at "tegednraas modern "abook by Andre Koch an othres and ypou will be suprised with the furniture in it. I think your chair like mine(wich was repainted black) has cellulose laquer  Wich was used with lower quality furnitureb

if you mean with M+S madsen and schubell? then no they designed firniture wich was prouced in licence by the dutch producer bovenkamp

😀 I originally meant Madsen and Schubell. When Bovenkamp adapted their model 6 for the Dutch market, they changed the armrests in a way that seems typical for Dutch chairs.
