Please help me identify this sofa and chairs. They were bought in Copenhagen around 1954, and were ordered custom from the factory. The original fabric was green with yellow cushions, and was called Unica Vaeb. Underneath, they each have a square mark with a circle in it and the letters FH. They were brought to the US in 1954 in the cockpit of a large yacht. We want to know the manufacturer and the designer. It may be Fritz Hansen, but I can?t verify that.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I believe the pieces are Folke Ohlsson for Fritz Hansen.

Thanks jesgord and modrover!
We have verified they are Fritz Hansen with the post "Please help ID this Danish Maker's Mark:" who had a label with the FH mark on it and the Fritz Hansen name. I attached the photo of it. Jesgord and modrover both think the designer is Folke Ohlsson.
Anyone know how much they are worth?
