While researching Scandinavian furniture exports to the USA I found this site.

https://www.danishmodernsd.com/archive.html

Catalogue images from a number of manufacturers.

The Happy Viking furniture catalogue from 1978 is, in my opinion, particularily interesting.

If you download the PDF the images are better.

A lot of instantly recognisable furniture but also some new ,to me anyway, pieces. 

I had fun trying to decipher the model letters ( it felt like doing an ID quiz) and matching them with manufacturers. Some easy, some not so much!! Some I have had no luck with.

Enjoy and feel free to comment.

On a side note,I am not sure how accurate the model numbers are, as the Gunni Omann desks 75 and 77 have been mixed up!

Lexi I enjoyed that! Definitely a lot of recognisable designs there, I could identify some and some were definitely new to me! Thank you!
