Just scored a pair of these for free (!!!) and was wondering about getting an ID. I saw this ebay posting that seems to be a match (says they're Kofod Larsen), but I haven't seen another image of the same chair. The red and blue ones are the chairs I got, the black is the ebay version.
The kink in the back vertical support is pretty unique and a detail I like a lot.

Kofod Larsen...
Kofod Larsen indeed.
Spear arm chair, model #544-15, to be exact.

An old Selig catalog. I don't actually have the catalog myself, but have cobbled various page shots from a few websites.

I've got two similar ones, model 540-15, which need a little joint/dowel regluing; then will probably put up for sale in a few weeks. Nice chairs.

disassembly
Does anyone know how to disassemble the spear chair? I figured out the front brace slides up and out of a metal notch but I couldn't figure out how the rear back rest separates from the arms. Will upload pics when I get a chance.
