I recently purchased these. The arm seems Vodder especially for France & Son, but there are no markings. Also it has pegged arms.
Oh yeah and the other chair i grabbed form the garbage. Wondering if it is anything.

I had a chair
With the identical arm rests. I am pretty sure the straps were made of some type of fabric like the webbing on the knoll chairs

No joke here, but the first lounge chair was actually made by a company based in New York called "Frank & Son"
It originally had canvas/fabric based suspension straps that looped through the cut-outs. The notches should go all the way through, unlike the fagas type that used a shallow (usually angled) notch. I believe they made this chair in oak (yours), pecan and walnut (stained).

I've seen
a couple of Danish-made chairs with webbing slots like those. The webbing was Pirelli-type (tan rubber with fiber reinforcement) with sewn casements on the ends. The ends are fed through the slots and a small metal or wood dowel is inserted into the casing to keep it from pulling back out of the slot in the chair frame.
It's a very neat, polished look.
