Hi, I've just picked up these quirky chairs, a set of four. I loved the curve and picked them up on impulse, but the quality of them has me intrigued...does anyone have any idea as to their origin? Maybe they are just generic but their weight and seamlessness makes me think twice!

These are not Novalux but were manufactured by Soudeurop.

Thanks for the replies! I've researched both and I think I agree with you wesemael! They're so lovely, really heavy. Thanks for all the help, I don't think I would have found the answer by myself!

I have these and are stamped with 'Soudeurop'. I know people rather like to have designer pieces....

Hi Vintagestique, where is the stamp? I can have another look on mine! I'm basing it on the others I have found online,

However when I searched for chairs by Soudeurop I didn't find any examples that were similar.
I'm happy either way, I'm glad to have my assumption of quality verified!
