Hello, taking a chance that anybody might be able to identify these Danish chairs... this is the only picture I have. Trying to help a guy out. The pair in the foreground, pinkish cushions. Not familiar with the seat backs and seats themselves, are those wires, or thin spindles? Thanks, if you have any ideas.

They look kind of like...
... Grete Jalk chairs I have seen, but are different in a few ways. Stumped.

If they are the Glostrup Møbelfabrik chairs, they aren't Grete Jalk. Simon posted a clip of a glostrup catalog once showing their design attribution to some guy whose name I'd never heard before. Had Aage in the middle. And wasn't Svend Aage Madsen.

Thanks...
... yeah I found a previous thread here with a similarly-framed loveseat. Is it possible he has put the seat and back in backwards? Just can't find any other pictures of chairs like this.

Again, thanks...
... wish I could see the pictures. It's where the sides of the chair meet the back that is giving me fits... most of what I can find looks nearly identical, save for the additional post up the back. Bizarre.

Lounge chair by Svend Aage Eriksen for Glostrup. Commonly misattributed to Grete Jalk. (Hat tip to Simon)
As you can see, it is not the same as these chairs.

Right, yeah...
... it's the side/back connection that is throwing everything.

Have you looked at Selig? There is a very similar chair we different arm rests. However, I have seen a selig change around armrest before, and this armrest appears to be in their repertoire.

I looked at every chair on the internet...
... it seems. Pretty sure these chairs are made from pieces of several different chairs.

These Glostrup chairs with the scoop arms are also frequently attributed to Vodder and occasionally to Jalk. Has anything ever been posted that shows who designed these?

I suspect that we would need something very, very solid because of the undeniable Svend Aage Eriksen credit for a chair that looks very Grete Jalk. To the best of my knowledge that chair hasn't been credited, certainly not to the level of the Svend Aage Eriksen chair.
If Simon, who has perused a Glostrup catalog, said it was a Vodder or Jalk or _______, I would believe him. But if I owned it, I would still be wanting more proof, because the "Simon said" story requires a lot of explaining.
