There is a lot of design that over the years for the sake of ease or lack of available literature has been attributed to certain designers or logged down as in the style of.

I thought it might be interesting to start a thread to try and solve some of these mysteries or at the very least give the correct designer his or her rightful acknowledgement.

However this is not a thread for "Ive got this chair whats it worth" this is solely for those pieces that have been wrongly attributed and those that remain a mystery.

So who wants to start?

I'd
still love an attribution for my dining table.
The chairs are marked 'Made In Sweden' but I don't know for sure they belong with the table (although I bought them with it)
The table legs are a 'splint' form in what I think is beech (or elm?) and the top is held with brass angled supports that bolt in.

Going off topic already, sorry but I like your flooring a lot, what is it? Who was the manufacturer? Is it proper linoleum or the vinyl stuff?

hmm...lovely looking table. Not saying it is, but it looks similar to a Bruno Mathsson split leg table

it's hospital flooring ..I think it's called gerflor.
Artie, yes..that's the nearest I could find, but don't think it is by Matthson.
It's a bit difficult to tell in thew pic, but it has a black plinth under the teak top, which I suppose does match it up to the chairs.
It's a fair size..there are 8 chairs around it !

Roberts table.
I have seen the table before and I even sold one many years ago but alas I cannot remember the designer, J O Carlsson, Andreas Tuck, Hvidt and Wegner all used brass supports but thqts as close as I can get.
Whilst I am here, I have seen this chair few times and it has always been attributed to I B Kofod Larsen but I have never seen it written or at auction just on the internet.

Your chairs is either...
Your chairs is either 'Fanett' by Ilmari Tapiovaara for Edsbyverken, or a close copy.
The table I'm have no idea about, -sorry!

Shaw walker also did chairs with the same design all in one back and armrests. They look similar to your Kofod Larsen attributed chair?

Robert, there was a swedish brand called Nesto, making these typical scandinavian chairs, mostly in beech.
They were so popular in the fifties these we're being sold by other brands to accompany their own furniture.
One of those brands was Pastoe, Holland.
I puzzled this together from little snippets from the net, whilst I was looking for a link to my rocking chair.
Nässjö Stolfabrik AB/Nesto

From what I can make of if, the chairs in the pic aren't by Tapiovaara - the original "Fanett(i)" chairs were produced by Asko in Finland, then licensed by Edsbyverken in Sweden. There's plenty of this type generic chairs around in Northern Europe and I see them listed as Tapiovaara chairs all the time when they clearly aren't..the contoured seat on Fanett looks like this: http://www.cominghome-interior.de/test/pages/page_13.html
