One of these two chairs has a Vik and Blindheim badge on the bottom, though I suspect that the badge has been placed there falsely - it's affixed haphazardly, and the other chair has no nail holes or discoloration in the same spot. The upholstery appears to be original. I've done a google search, but I've not seen other examples that match these. Any clues? Admittedly, I'm pretty new to this stuff, but I LOVE the look and build of these chairs. Thanks for your help.

Identified!
Hi, it's a chair made in Norway, Bjarne Madsen & Hans Thyge Schubel for Vik & Blindheim.

Thanks Conny, good to know.
The ID of this design has been bugging me for a while now since I had an example a couple of years ago.
You often see them misattributed to Arne Vodder.
Can I ask where you found the information to make a positive ID?
