I have 4 Dux chairs. But I am curious about there age and if there is a know designer associated with them.

They have the ellipse Dux logo that says 'Imported original' at the top and 'made in Sweden' at the bottom I included a photo from the internet that can be seen easily (mine is visible but just barely through some thin fabric on the bottom of the seat).

P.S. They are a bit dried out but not as bad as the photo make it seem (harsh arizona sunlight). And that is the upholsery I found them in so don't judge me for that.

Any info on these Dux Chairs
I figured I would try again.
I did get conflicting info from two different sources. A dealer in Portland (Revolver Vintage Interiors) had a set that he sold as Folke Ohlsson chairs (see link). But a local local dealer in Phoenix told me the were not vintage, from the 80s and he would not sell them.
Does anyone have an opinion on the chairs?

According to the Dux catalog...
According to the Dux catalog I have, they are model 7142 (side) and 7242 (arm) chairs designed by Sylve Stenquist. Available in walnut or solid teak. The catalog is undated but is most likely from the mid to late 60s.
