Can anyone help identify this chair? I have 6 of them and they each are numbered with a metal plate. They look very much like the Jens Risom 600 series lounge chair but I’m not able to find the exact design. These chairs have leather on the back of the oak with upholstery tacks.

“Leather”, “oak”, and “upholstery tacks”.

if those observations are accurate and original to the chairs, then they would not be Risom.

I just checked, there were oak used in the U430 and U431 chairs. The 650 series were in maple and walnut (if these are the chairs in question). Leather and the tacks were also used in the (650?) webbed series back in the day.

Apologies. brain cramp on my end. I was thinking about Jens Risom Design upholstered chairs. and not the strap designs he did for Knoll. Indeed both leather and upholstery nails are part of that series. Not sure about oak for those.

Thanks for correcting me, minimoma.
