Hi there,
I come here to seek some help!
I have a 3 Seater Sofa by Grete Jalk for France & Son and two Danish teak lounge chair, by Grete Jalk for France and Sons too. The picture of the lounge chair was found on internet, but this is the model I have.I join also the picture of the screw I have, the reference is in centimeters by the way.
I do not have all the screws for it sadly, and it seems impossible to find it here in France.
Many shopkeepers here were unable to help me out.
I would really appreciate your help, if you know the kind of screw it is, so I can buy some more and finally enjoy a good evening, resting in one of those beauty!
Thanks in advance,
Luc D.

These screws were used in a lot of France & Son furniture.
Unless you can find someone who has some spare I think your best option is to look out for a 'donor' piece of furniture. Perhaps a broken or damaged piece of France & Son furniture going cheap that you can harvest the screws from.
It is not an uncommon screw in the USA. It has an imperial thread. I believe the Danish factories of the era were using existing tooling, which was all denominated in imperial units. It isn't until later production that one starts to see evidence of metric tooling.
It would be described as a #10-24 x 2 in. Internal Hex Socket Cap Screw:

The only difference is that the one you want has a black phosphate coating, not a zinc coating. Either color is easy enough to find in the USA.
You might need to order one from the USA if you can't find it where you live.
McMaster Carr is my go to for finding fasteners. They also have an excellent online interface/ store.

McMaster-Carr is my first choice vendor for specialty fasteners and hardware, too. They are small-order friendly and incredibly responsive.
A couple of years ago, I got stuck in desperate need working on-site with no internet access and only an intermittent cellular signal. I called their toll-free number and described to the rep what I needed. She looked it up, confirmed that I was listed in their system, asked for a shipping address, and thanked me for my order at 3:00 in the afternoon. The entire conversation lasted maybe 5 minutes. My package of stainless steel spanner-head machine screws, shipped to Massachusetts from Chicago, was delivered by FedEx before 8 the next morning.
It's beyond me to imagine how anyone could possibly make things any greater than that.
