Hi.

Bought a pair of Hans Wegner’s kastrup chair this week. Made by Johannes Hansen. 

I believe these chairs were first produced by AP Stolen. Do you guys know when Johannes Hansen took over? And when did they disappear?

Thanks!

Is there a JH sticker on the chairs? I'd like to to see them if so.

I have JH catalogs from the late 50's and ~1970. The Kastrup series in in neither of them.

When A.P. closed at the end of the 70s, Johannes Hansen took over the production rights for the upholstered furniture. JH closed in 1990. So it must be a late 70s/80s production.

Thanks Herringbone! Yes, probably from the 80s. That’s what I thought.

It does look like a late JH label.
