Mogensen chairs?  

I think it is much more likely to be Christian Hvidt (son of Peter Hvidt) or maybe Kai Lyngfeldt Larsen. It looks more influenced by Mogensen than Mogensen, at least to me, but what do I know?

If I know anything, I would say you know a fair amount about Mogensen, Leif.

Here's the same chair with a footstool, also attributed to Mogensen.

Unfortunately, when it comes to accuracy in attribution (and price), 1st Dibbs is a notorious offender.

It all comes down to whether you really want to know who designed the chair, or you just want to gather evidence that supports your desires. If you are looking for the former, then you really need to find some literature (S

Thank you, Leif and Zephyr. I like the chairs and want to learn more about them. I really just want to learn, I don't want the designer to be Mogensen.

I've tried to find the chairs on the Design Museum Danmark furniture index ( https://designmuseum.dk/en/), searching by manufacturer Soborg, and also by designer: Mogensen, Christian Hvidt, Peter Hvidt, and Kai Lyngfeldt Larsen. I see some similar designs, especially by Mogensen and Christian Hvidt, but I haven't found an exact match.

Thank you for your help!

I have a rather large collection of S

Actually let me revise that. I think the most likely time period is the very late 1960s or early 1970s. The plywood slat seat just does not look much like the mid-1960s to me.

I wondered about the plywood seat too.

I see many similar features on model 420 by Christian Hvidt: the joinery and shape of the arms, the curve under the front of the seat. Also 450/452:

Does the logo on the Soborg label say anything about its age?

The DFC portion of the label says that it is earlier than mid 1970s, since the word 'quality' was not added to it yet. The S

Zephyr: Do you have good documentation that the word quality was added in the mid-1970s? The closest I have been able to come to pinning down an actual date is that the USA trademark changed in 1983. And it seems reasonable to believe that this happened a bit after it changed in Denmark. For instance, the organization began in 1959 and the USA trademark was not filed until maybe 1962. Of course the world of 1962 was very, very different than 1983, so it is hard to make too much of an inference.

However, it does seem likely that it changed later than the mid-1970s in Denmark if it took until 1983 to change it in the USA. In short I think I would likely consider the entire 1970s as candidates for production.

And the similarities to other known Christian Hvidt designs are why I put him at the beginning of my list. He was designing for S

I tried some Google searches to find catalogs from Soborg Mobelfabrik from the 1970s, but no luck. Maybe someone will share them online someday and I'll be able to learn more.

Thanks everyone for your help!

I have one from 1976. Rest assured, I have checked every S
