Hi!

I bought this chair on a flea market in Bergen Norway after falling in love with it. I have tried to find out more about the design without any luck. It looks a bit like the rocker by Frank Reenskaug.

I would really appreciate all the help that I could get to solve this mystery.

Any clues at all....labels,...
Any clues at all....labels, markings, etc? Pics from any other angles. I just looked through a Povl Dinesen catalog which often turns up IDs for hard to ID Danish designs. It had the Reenskaug rocker, but not you chair. I'll keep digging

Mystery chair
Hi!
There are no markings of any kind which makes things even more difficult.
Thank you so much for helping!
Lars

Oh no!
I hate giving up on these things. I?m a collector with a rather limited amount of space so I tend to sell the pieces that I cant attribute to a specific designer.
Anyway thanks for trying!

I would say that it is most...
I would say that it is most likely a modification by the producer, which is very typical for at least a lot of Norwegian producers. The furniture in the movie appears to be new prototypes. If your familiar with the furniture industry you?ll find that a lot of furniture undergoes some alterations after they?ve been displayed for the first time.
Some of the problems may first appear on the furniture fair when it?s being used by thousands of visitors.
I?ve believe that it is the same model, but a later version.

Most interesting.
I'd be happy to see more videos like that one.
The turned stretcher added to the sides of the chair could only help if it were stressed in tension -- meaning that it would have to be well pinned or wedged at its ends. The dining chair shown near the end of the video has such stretchers -- essential in the case of that design.
Wish we had an English translation of the video -- and a date ?
