For most readers, the answer is model "Hans", designed by Niels Koefoed for Koefoeds Mobelfabrik.

For mvc, they are meaningless chairs and sofa, designed by nobody who anyone today should care about, and not even sure that this catalog wasn't made by a bunch of drunks who designed furniture at home after dinner.

You choose which response is more useful to you.

Hey CdSilva,

thanks for your identification! 
did you see that the back is not excatly the same?

Maybe a variant...

Best regards

Yeah, could be a variant by Koefoeds, or could be someone else making a very similar design. You'd need to compare construction details between the two to see if they are the same/similar.

I owned a chair that had exposed fasteners, while the ones you posted and the catalog photo do not. So that is already one data point that shows construction varied for the Hans.

The odd seat strap slots (no horizontal slots for straps at the front of the seat) would be a good point of comparison, as well as the odd location for screws through the top of the seat framing right through a joint.
