Just picked up a folke ohlsson dark walnut reclining lounge chair marked with "Dux Incorporated Newport News, Virginia" on the back frame. I have only seen the DUX sweden and DUX san francisco/burlingame references before.I only see one reference to DUX in virginia, here it is... http://books.google.com/books?id=nF_sHyg0AcgC&pg=PA59&lpg=PA59&dq=was+DUX+incorporated+in+virginia&source=bl&ots=EtwZnnWRaS&sig=579Vbgiu9Pjb2aEblSDmkYzhO6w&hl=en&sa=X&ei=N9RJVOjnAuODiwKByoCoBA&ved=0CDYQ6AEwATgK#v=onepage&q=was%20DUX%20incorporated%20in%20virginia&f=false Was the virginia location the first place in the U.S. to import the DUX furniture from sweden?

Mine is apart right now, had to take off all the old upholstery and sand it down. Here is one that is exactly the same.

Here you go spanky. Not the usual dux marking one sees, plus this was on the interior wood backing frame.

How odd!  
Friends of mine have that same chair.  I'll look at it for marks next time I'm there but that won't be for two weeks or so.
