Hi all, The danish modern gods were with me this morning as I found 3 of these beauties at my local charity shop (15€/piece).They are marked with the danish furniture control stamp and Poul Jeppesen one. After a quick google search, I discovered that they were designed by Grete Jalk.Can someone confirm me that the designer is indeed Jalk? I am also curious about the model, year of production,...Finally, does someone know if the upholstery is original? It seems that all chairs of this model I could find on the internet are upholstered with leather.Many thanks for your help!!!

Looks like you've done most of the work already. According to Furniture Index, those are model PJ 3-2, from 1961, and were offered in fabric. Not sure if your fabric is original.

They are indeed by Grete Jalk and were available in leather or fabric.

Thanks to both of you for the help! I should have indeed checked furnitureindex first...
I haven't seen many of them for sale on the internet compared to other pieces from Jalk (coffee tables, armchairs,...) or other side chairs like NO Moller's. Are these specially rare or valuable?
