I've been unable to identify the designer of this chair, which was produced by Selig. Does anyone recognize the design?

It's beautiful!
Have you found out the designer of it yet?

Net yet,
ModGal... Thank you for saying it's beautiful. It's a great chair, though I find its beauty is sometimes better than its comfort. 🙂

Yes, pretty. Selig was an imp...
Yes, pretty. Selig was an importer of Danish stuff. Sometimes designers for them are hard to figure out.

Kofod-Larsen
Could certainly be a possibility.

The Selig Thread
Thanks, Whitespike. It looks even better with the matching ottoman. But, like I think you feel about your DCM, it's prettier than comfortable. It's no womb chair.
Woody, I discovered the Selig thread where you answered a similar question. Like the Z chair, it does seem likely that the designer was Kofod-Larsen.

Oh no, Brent, I love the...
Oh no, Brent, I love the comfort of a DCM. It gets no better for an unupholstered dining chair.
I dunno about Kofod for this one. Maybe, but he seems to be the catch-all for attribution for Selig products. I have three Kofod chairs (two dining height and one lounge height) and they are amazingly comfortable for their small stature.
These are like mine...

re: comfort
COuld it be the cushions were replaced with something inferior? Does it have springs or is it just a cushion?

Oh yeah
Could have been that other guy... George Jensen?
The arms on Kofod-Larsen chairs usually taper wider toward the back.

Not Georg Jensen
You mean Poul Jensen, who designed the Z chair.
Georg was the Danish silversmith.

LCW or DCW
Whitespike, I meant the DCW or LCW--the one I think you said was a pain in the ass. The one years ago you offered to sell me for $500 when we had lunch in Mississippi. 🙂
And, as someone recently asked, did Poul Jensen ever really exist?

z chair
The back legs of my chair do look similar to the Z chair, which is attributed to Poul Jensen.
I wonder why I can find nothing about Poul Jensen other than people saying this or that chair was designed by him? Where is his picture or a quick bio on Wikipedia? I'm a Poul Jensen agnostic. Like Thomas, I need some corporeal evidence before I can believe.
