Hello,

I've been trying to ID this chair for a while but haven't had any luck, i've tried furnitureindex.dk and lots of googling but haven't found a match. Does anyone know who designed it, I bought it along with a Finn Juhl chair from the same person, I'm assuming its Danish, but I could be wrong. There are no labels or stamps. It has a tilt/reclining lever.

Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Could be right
Hmm..you could be right. Also saw a Swedese chair that was similar. Do let me know if you have any further inspiration!

The chair
Looks very similar to a Gimson & Slater chair in the rock and rest range, but the back rest is different. It is however very beautiful although I am not sure that helps with the ID.

yes it reclines
if you are asking if the recline feature actually works? It is either sits upright or you adjust the lever on the side and it reclines and has bit a of a 'bounce' in the recline position.
Yes, it does seem similar to Gimson & Slater which I think has the same recline?

Kurt Olsen
Designed several chairs of this style for Slagelse møbler back in the mid 1950s.
they were a little straighter in the wings but much the same back and frame.
maybe a little help to making a attibution
