I'm trying to find out whether the planter below is designed by Arne Vodder for Vamo Mobelfabrik, or Arne Wahl Iversen for Vinde Mobelfabrik. Does anyone know? I'm finding equal attributions.

In the furnitureindex it's attributed to Arne Vodder.
Which source does it attribute to Arne Wahl Iversen?

There are a good 20 or more attributions on the net
I was surprised by the quantity so wanted to double-check, as we all know that many of these sources can be unreliable (inc DFI)

Well, the one and only...
Well, the one and only reliable source doesn't exist, at least on the net, even DFI is sometimes wrong, but in this particular case you can be sure it's designed by Arne Vodder.
No label on it?

The stamp shows Vinde Møbelfabrik, but Vodder didn't work for Vinde, but Arne Wahl Iversen well.
So we have a perfect confusion. 🙂

Thanks, Jesgord
It's very similar, but as you pointed out the handles are different

As previously noted
furnitureindex.dk is a good online reference, but not 100% correct. Every time I check it, I look to see what their own sources are. In this case, Los Angeles Modern Auctions is the source.
I put greater stock for IDs on old catalog references over auction references any day. Then again, I am of the opinion that there is no Poul Jensen individual (even though he is credited with design of the Z chair), but rather Selig marketing in the US mistook that name for an individual rather than a furniture manufacturer that made the chair.
P.S. I own this entry chest/planter, and am in the Wahl Iversen designer camp.

Are we all in agreement that the stamp
Is for Vinde, and not Vamo Mobelfabrik?
If this is the case then I suspect that it's less likely to be a Vodder design.

It's definitely the Vinde stamp.

Does anybody know the maker of the square legged variant? I've just picked on up, there are no stamps on it. And can't find one bit of info!

Based on the fact that the legs and stretches are Afrormosia, it was not made by Vinde or Vamo.
