Help Identifying Danish Modern Chair
This is a vintage Danish Modern lounge chair that a friend gave me. He inherited it from his grandmother, who bought it during the 50's or 60's. It has a Illums Bolighus Copenhagen metal tag on the bottom, indicating that they were the retailer. Does anyone recognize with certainty who the designer was? TIA.

It appears to be a high-back in the style of the Elizabeth chair by Ib Kofod-Larsen. Could you post a small profile pic?
BTW...I throughly enjoy IKL designs. This chair is a wonderful example of his style. Envious that I don't know your friend=(

Thank you. Yes, I can post a small profile image later today, but the image you posted is definately identical to the chair I have. Just to clarify though, was the b&w chair image you posted one that was identified as being by Ib Kofod Larsen, or one that was done in his style by an unknown designer? Thank you very much.

Ib Kofod Larsen
This must be the same chair with a somewhat lower back. I found the image at the website linked below. They identify the chair as "the Sälen" (the Seal), by Ib Kofod Larsen for OPE Furniture, 1956-57.
I have also added another image link to a chair (also identified as a Sälen) with a high back, but in leather.

Another nice one
IKL designed a number of chairs, many of which have this type of frame styling. Winged arms, graceful optimism of the sloped arm, sinuous curves all around...well designed/crafted stuff. Once you get a feel for his chair designs, not hard to spot.

Is the arm design on this chair commonly used on other chairs or just by this designer. As i have a set that has this arm.

Can you identify my chairs?
I found this thread while trying to identify my chairs, and they look pretty similar. Can anyone help? I'm fairly sure the wood is teak and I'm now pretty much convinced they're Danish modern. Based on the taxes, I know they date back to somewhere between 1948 and the 1970s (I found them in Israel, and the tax stamps list a different kind of money than we use today).
The footstool is unrelated; it probably dates from the same period but didn't come with the chairs.
Thanks!!

Another Danish modern chair to identify
Does anyone recognize this chair? It's from an interior by some place called Qb3 design. It looks like a Danish modern type chair, though I suspect the seating may not be the original color.
Thanks,
Joe
