Interesting. I was not previously aware that MK made bar stools. Arne Hovmand Olsen designed a lot of furniture for MK, so there is a good chance he designed your stools.

I believe the MK ink stamp preceded the round metal medallion chronologically. So my best guess for dates would be mid to late 50's.

@matthew-w. Cannot help you with designer but did find these dining chairs on IG. Same back rest, seat,  stretchers , just shorter legs!

@cdsilva. The seats on IG had this label. Thought you might be interested.

thanks, lexi. I had not previously had this MK mark; never knew they had a paper sticker label.

"CD" thank you for your response, I too had thought that Olsen might be behind the design as well, and the example you provide is just more validation for believing that. I have also not seen another example of the Bar Stool height chairs and wonder if they were made as samples.

Thank you again,

Matt

Lexi,

Thanks for the photographs, I appreciate the example, and inadvertently attributed CD with your photo.

Thanks again,

Matt
