Hovmand Olsen Chair Identification  

@marauderyak. Welcome. I have searched high and low and have not found these chairs. Could you post a pic of the  marking/stamp/label ?

Thanks for looking. It’s really bugging me that I can’t find them. 

@marauderyak Can't really help, but considering that Arne Hovmand-Olsen drew quite many chairs for Mogens Kold and that some of the design features here resemble his Mogens Kold designs, I'd say that it's not unlikely that these chairs were also produced by Mogens Kold.

Hi Herringbone,

I believe that "Design Hovmand-Olsen" mark is the one he used exclusively for his Jutex co-op production, which was comprised of a series of manufacturers based in Jutland. The only Jutex manufacturer that I have been able to identify was Onsild Mobelfabrik.

I don't believe this stamp was ever used on Mogens Kold pieces.

Here are the two other marks I've found for Jutex pieces

As AHO was the key person behind Jutex (I'm not sure if he was the sole owner or not), it appeared his marketing focus was around his name design brand and not who produced them.

Thanks for the replies! This conversation is helpful. I enjoy knowledge for the sake of knowledge, but it will be particularly helpful down the road when I eventually look to sell these. 

I had a Jutex table a while back and it was very hard to find any info on it.. this was before I knew about this place, lol.

@cdsilva -  makes perfect sense. I don't know much about Jutex, but if it was a cooperation to sell Arne Hovmand Olsen designs, such an otherwise pretty unusual marking would be appropriate. So thanks for the clarification.

@cdsilva Yes, AHO was the sole owner of Jutex.

1957 and 1961

Telegrams... that brings me back.

@herringbone. All that is missing now is a photo of AHO !!
