Need some help with identifying this dining room set  

American, late 1960s, faux Danish Modern, probably stained elm.

and nicely photographed. I like the tacks in the back...and the color. I do.

Hi,

Aunt Mark

Hey Mark, no!

Tacks are bad. Always. I demand an example that disproves this.

Um, I would argue that, in this case, tacks add a certain je-ne-sais-quois. In fact, I, too, rather like them on these chairs as they are obviously original and, therefore, honest to both origin and period.

I like the color of the Naugahyde on them, too. And I agree with elm, though maybe not stained.

there is something about the seams up the back of a pair of vintage panty hose.

I'm,

Aunt Mark

Tacks are fine on dark heavy oak and thick oxhide Spanish colonial furniture in a hacienda. The light should be so low you can barely see anyway.

There is too much light in this photo, but at least you can see better:

heave(n)ly inspired by inger klingenberg the IK chair for Fristho

best regards maarten

Tacks are fine as long as these are used for what they were intended for & not as applied decoration.

Early 20th century modernist chairs by Adolf Loos & Josef Hoffman used tacks even though the chair forms were breaking away from the 19th century aesthetics.

Tacks can be "tacky" when overused like in many diner bar & banquet seating which is still with us today. Tacks are fine when restoring an authentic 18th or 19th century wing chairs.

Of course Maarten has nailed it or, maybe in this case, tacked it. The chairs appear so similar as to be nearly direct copies of Inger Klingenberg's "IK" for Fristho ca.1960. She did later marry an American furniture designer with extensive ties to US manufacturers, so... ?

the IK chairs were from 1960to70 produced by fristho Indeed she maried Littell who moved top europe Copenhagen in 1960 (probably to marry her) after his work/periode for Knoll and Miller and in his eurpean periode focused on textiles. Possible he kept contact with american manifacturers in europe he worked for depadova who started manufacturing amreican licenced Miller furniture.

Not very likely the chairs in question were reproduced in licence and then the licencer changed the design

so i think 'cut and paste' 'inspired',also he had contacts wich quiet respectable companys Miller etc

however i don't know!!!!

Hi,

just wanted to thank everyone for they're comments. After searching many pics I came across this. So is it possible these chairs are IK designed and produced in New York.

your question is not very clear Where did you came it across?and what does that say?.The chairs you show now differ significanly from your own wood/construction /detail and judging by this only picture they could be klingenbergs Ik chair however more pictures would help and then what does thatmean?

found where you found the picture on 1stdibs I think those are real fristho's produced in the netherlands and designed by inger klingenberg not produced in NY

however your yellow chairs are as Leif wrote as first comment
