Another random post from me.
I found an image in a Swedish magazine called Interior.2/67 ( Feb 67?)
A chair called "Jaguar" designed by Hans Olsen and made by Viskadalens Mobelindustri, Kinna, Sweden.
Have not been able to find another image on the interweb which is why I am posting it here.
His "Gazelle" chair, by the same company, is widely documented.

Good morning @lexi , after following the NYT news ticker for half the night, I finally got out of bed. But still no result! Pffffft .....
Back to topic. An interior magazine can only be as good as the editorial team, and if the editor has no idea, then ...
Conclusion: If even the furniture company's own catalogs are sometimes incorrect, then you shouldn't believe everything that is published in these magazines.
@lexi On the one hand it's interesting, because unknown designs are always interesting. But on the other hand it's not. If you look at this chair, you get a good idea why Scandinavian furniture design faded away in the 60s.
And who would call this thing Jaguar?
"People buy a chair, and they don't really care who designed it." (Arne Jacobsen)
@herringbone. I agree..there was certainly a shift to a more basic angular style especially going into the 70's and 80's. I feel Ikea and their simpler , knockdown furniture had a big influence in design and production at that time.
