Madsen and Schubell  

@lexi They are the same. 🙂 But I didn't know they were also produced and advertised in Denmark under the Madsen and Schubell brand.  

@herringbone. Well it was certainly worth your while to unearth those vintage adverts. 😊 

BTW,Thank you for posting them.

Hi 

Thank you for all the information about Madsen and Schubell.  I have two chairs and a footstool with Madsen and Schubell label on. The label is both on the fabric, and underneath the chair on the metal. I have not been able to find any pictures of the chair. I think it is called a lounge armchair with adjustable tilt with five wooden legs, and off white fabric.
I have only been able to find a picture of one like mine in a “before and after” picture, because someone posted it after putting new fabric in it. 
Maybe one of you know, if it’s been recycled, put together from direct chairs or maybe even an original. 

I have more fotos with the brand and one of the other chair with new fabric, the one I found a picture of on the Internet 

The chairs is so comfortable to sit in.

Best regards from Tina from Denmark

@tina-2, @varde Dear Tina, sorry for not replying sooner, I just didn't see that there were aditional posts to moderate and answer. I deleted the double posts. You should be able now to post as Tina-2. 

From what I see, your chair is a Madsen & Schubell production from the late 60s or later. It's from the second or even third phase of the company history, which is less well documented (Some say also less interesting). I haven't seen it before and know nothing about it. I can only give your background you maybe have read on the pages before.  

The second phase of the company began when Arnold Madsen and Henry Schubell split around 1965. The name remained the same but the product line shifted from chairs with a wooden construction towards chairs like yours with a svivel and tilting mechanism. For some years Arnold and his son Ib Madsen ran the company together, the Schubell family remained involved as suppliers. When Arnold retired in the mid 70s, Ib Madsen led the company on his own until it went bankrupt. The third phase began when Ib Madsen revived it in the late 80s and kept producing chairs on his own until his own retirement.

The maker's mark on your chair clearly is a later one from the time when Ib was in the company. The mechanism is the one Arnold invented and got a patent for. I wish I could narrow it down further for you but unfortunately I can't. I can only try to find out the time period in which the maker's mark was used.
