Hi all,
Just got 2 chairs by Møbelfabrikken Vamo. Not too common and usually attributed to Arne Vodder.
They are marked but no DFMC stamp or sticker. The wood is afrormosia.
Does anyone know anything about these chairs? Designer (I tend to think the Vodder attribution is wrong and they might be by Johannes Andersen), year of design, etc?

Many thanks for any help
I had this chair a couple of years ago with both the Vamo stamp and DFC sticker. It is not in any of the Vamo catalogs or other misc books/catalogs that I have. Based on the leg tops and Vodder’s documented relationship with Vamo, I do think there is strong possibility that he was the designer. However, I could never find any verification documents that confirm that. Please post if you ever do.
Five bucks (or Euros) says that “documentation” is from some other dealer listing that says so.
I was lucky enogh to get a reply from his daughter Pia via Facebook two or three years ago. Maybe that works for you, too. The site is not updated too often but they posted somethin in January. So it's not dead.
