Hi together,
I remember there was once a thread which covered this topic but I can't find it no more.
I can purchase two nice chairs, the frame is similar to Jalk, the armrests to Vodder.
Unfortunately I don't have pics without cushions so the backrest is not visible and labels neither if there should be some.
Anyone an idea?
Thanks a lot.

Also, I wouldn't assume that...
Also, I wouldn't assume that they are Jalk just because they were manufactured by Glostrup.
There is at least one instance of a commonly Jalk-attributed design that turns out was so unknown (at least to me) designer named: Svend Åge Eriksen. Unfortunately Simon has taken down the image, but I am pretty sure it wasn't this lounge chair.

It was this lounge chair.
As lovely as it is this design is neither Jalk nor Vodder despite a large amount of attributions out there.
I believe Simon wrapped this up when he showed an archive advert with the designer listed as Svend Åge Eriksen.
I would consider a vintage ad as reliable documentation second only to the manufacturers catalogue.

If I google Svend Åge Eriksen there is nothing listed about him.

And I trust H.moon's...
And I trust H.moon's recollection better than mine.
It is a lovely chair, buy it for that, not for the designer. And I don't think anyone knows anything about Svend Aage Eriksen.
