HelloI picked up a set of these dining chairs by Soro Stole. I would very much like to know the name of the designer and the period. The frame is oak wood and they have a decorative leather tab on the back of each front leg where it meets the canvas webbed seat which made me think of the safari style chairs. The webbed seats look to be original as one of the Soro Stole labels was still underneath but I've only ever seen this style of seat on Alvar Aalto chairs not on Danish chairs.Any thoughts would be much appreciated.Sarah

The chair was designed in 1965 by Preben Thorsen.
EDIT
...and the webbing style is the original one.

I_love_danish,
I saw a set of these oak Soro dining chairs back in October, but have never been able to find any information about what they were. At the time I think there was a tag on them that said, "Nanna Ditzel??" The Soro mark was an ink stamp I think.
