I've owned this beautiful suite for many years having many admirers but I haven't been able to find anything on the maker Svensk Fur, Sweden. its a Borge Mogensen Oresund design but I haven't been able to find any info on the maker or how they came to make this suite.
Any ideas or help please?
Thanks in advance.

Svensk Fur translates to...
Svensk Fur translates to something like Swedish pine wood. And it is branded on a piece of pine. Perhaps it is a lumber stamp unrelated to the furniture.
And if it is Øresund, (I have a piece of the line, but I am not very familiar with it, and there are a lot of pieces, so I don't doubt you) it was made by Karl Andersson and Sonner, and that is certainly not the label for KA&S.

It also could be put on there by KA&S to make a marketing related point about the wood used.

Thanks for your input Lief,...
Thanks for your input Lief, they are exactly the same as Karl Andersson chairs, I've had them side by side with no differences apart from the makers label, I'm just after any info on the Svensk Fur brand as its been a bit of a mystery for a while. cheers.

I'm swedish and i've never seen that marking before. Leifs proposal that it might be a marketing related label about the wood used, sounds likely to me.
In Sweden there was probably no need for pine wood marketing campaigns, since it was literally everywhere in 60-70s... -Or maybe that was actually a result of such a campaign, a very successful one...
Öresund is also all over the place and is still being produced. It's a simple, but quite underrated group of furniture i think.

Thanks for that ...
Thanks for that alexandersforum, I completely agree, totally underrated, but I think that allot of Borge Mogensen's designs are often overlooked because they are so simple and easily functional. Timeless ergonomic classics which I love. Cheers
