Hi together, on the net these Vamo chairs are attributed to Johannes Andersen. Is it true or a fairy tale?

Thanks for your help.

@fr-ha For chairs like with a backrest like these we have a reference thread (because we are nerdy). You find it here. @lexi listed and IDd the chair there. According to an Anton Dam catalog reference it's indeed Johannes Andersen for Vamo (Wamo, as it was spelled in the early days). 

"People buy a chair, and they don't really care who designed it." (Arne Jacobsen)

Also confirmed Johannes Andersen in a 1957 Vamo catalog. The model name is "Sonja"
