Hello,

does anybody knows the designer of this France and Son folding chair. Should be made very late at the end of the sixties.

Is it Poul Cadovius?

Interesting question. No idea. It definitely was produced in the Cadovius time but there were several designers working for the company back then. Gjerløv-Knudsen, the Heath‘s, Steen Østergaard, to name a few. Maybe a development of Gjerløv’s folding chair?

Hi there,

I found attributions to Lauge Vestergaard . Never heard that name before.

Hmm. Also never heard of him but I found a reference to a 1971 issue of Dansk Brugskunst. I'll look through my collection, maybe I have it.

@molassekoeniggmx-de .@herringbone

I was following up on that reference also !! Found image of chair and Lauge Vestergaard name in Dansk Brugskunst 1970,  Vol 1-2; page 48. Thought I would save you the trouble. 😊 

First time I have heard that name.

@lexi Ha, very nice!!! I bet he had a rather short career as a designer.
