I picked two of these chairs up at an auction for 20 bucks. From what I have found they are Swedish. Can anyone identify the designer? Thanks for the help!

It is easier...
to put the link in the associated web link box.
The chair is without any doubt made in Sweden in a place called Gemla between Alvesta and Växjö in the beautiful central part of southern Sweden. I know of a toy manufacturer there, but that's the extend of my knowledge about it.

I do not think the chairs...
I do not think the chairs are Wegner. Poul M Volther, Yngve Ekström, Peter Celsing, Carl Bergsten, and Sonna Rosén all designed chairs for Gemla Fabriker AB

In am getting old...
...and mixed upp the place Diö (Di-island) with the street (Gemlagatan)on which they are situated. Diö is still in southern Sweden but further south than I mentioned before. I have some information on the designers that worked for them so I will start to digg.
