Long time reader, first time poster.
I have two chairs which I have struggled to identify. The community's help would be much appreciated.
The second chair as you may be able to see in the photo, is a folding chair.
I believe they are both Danish, though I had one person tell me the first is very much Prouve. I don't hold to that view, but I can't find it on the web.
Thank you in advance.

That is a wood hinge I am seeing on the second chair, right?. It takes some chutzpah and talented craftsmanship to do that.
Kurt Østervig designed a drop-leaf table with wooden hinges, which is one of my favorites on account of the hinge, and the only design I've ever seen a mass-production piece of furniture with a wood hinge.
More photos?

Thank you Leif.
It is a beautiful wood hinge, and works so smoothly. Here are two more pics of this piece.
The seat and back on this are leather.
Always keen to check out designers unknown to me so I will be looking into Kurt Østervig.
Cheers
Xan
