MS5 is a variation of  MS4, it was exported to the US.

MS6 is also a variation, it came in a low and a high version and it was highly popular as a Bovenkamp production with a slightly altered armrest. It also came as a sofa.

MS7 and MS8 are not officially known as such. But MS 4 came in different variations. It may well be that the different armrest of MS 6 for Bovenkamp counted as MS 7. And then there's a photo in Arnold Madsen's archive that could be MS8. It's also a variation of MS4, again with an altered backrest.

MS9 is today called the Oda chair. It was designed by Arnold Madsen in 1956 and licensed to Bovenkamp.

Now to the Bovenkamp models:

First is Inger. Designer not known. I cannot even make out the name of the lower version. I think its Ebba. From the shape of the legs which are similar to MS9 I would assume that it was designed by Arnold Madsen. 

And then Model 12. It was called Lone in the Bovenkamp catalog. It was produced from the late 50s to 1962 in Denmark, in Holland maybe longer. Designer: Henry Schubell.

- Tove - also known as MS 20, designed by Henry Schubell.

- Mette - a lower variation of Tove

And then there are two Bovenkamp models that never appeared in the Dansk Stilmobel catalog.

It's Dorte - designed by Arnold Madsen I believe

and one which I even haven't got a name right now. It was produced around 1962. Designer unclear.

@herringbone. Great work.

BTW  Model 12 is called "Lone". Attaching clearer picture from Bovenkamp  advert.

And then there are the later models.

MS 45 - designed by Henry Schubell according to the Schubell family. 

MS 71 - also designed by Henry Schubell

MS 68 - a swivel chair with a tilting mechanism invented by Arnold Madsen himself. The chair was in production until the late 90s, when Ib Madsen closed production in Gilleleje. The outward apperance might have been altered (see picture 4 which I believe to be the same chair as in picture 3).  

MS 75 - a swivel chair designed by Ib Madsen. 

And this is the end of the list. If I forgot something, feel free to add it.

@wesemael I should ask if this design is familiar to anybody. I see the paws, but it may be an in-house development. Thanks anyway!

@herringbone. I am posting a section of an image from your Madsen and Schubell thread on IG ( hope you don't mind)

It lists a Model 11. Have you ever uncovered a photo/image of this model during your research?

@lexi I would assume that it is one of the Bovenkamp models. But I haven’t noticed it before. I should ask that too.

@andersen. I don't think so but I will  leave it with @herringbone to verify. He is the expert on this subject.

What makes you think it could be? Just curious. But no, not Madsen & Schubell.

hello... maybe the shape of the backrest, but the seat is so cheaply made after all, that can't be a good piece. thank you

cheers
