Unknown designer chairs

Hi all just looking for some info on the below chairs we were left them from my grandparents and I'd like to know a little more on their history, can anyone shed some light on what these are, the wooden one I beleive came from NatWest around mid 20th century. The other I have no idea.

The first chair above looks to me like 1960s Danish mid century modern. Here is a similar chair on Etsy that is in this basic style (scroll down a little on the page). Vintage mid century modern pieces are commanding high prices these days!

I don't know anything about the second chair except that it looks like a mid century piece with good value.

 

Sorry I can't help on your chairs, but I CAN WELCOME you to ANTIQUERS, Andrew!!!! Others will be along to help with the chairs though!!!

 

or they may not.......
better post these again under Furniture !!!!!

Oh.....welcome !

 

...or, how about if we avoid a duplicate thread and ask @daveydempsey or @Bookahtoo to move this thread over there?

 

Nat West one is Ercol. I bet the second one is Habitat.

 

Thanks all so far, I thought the NatWest ones looked fairly ercol style but there's a lot of similar ones to the ercol design I think. The second lounge style chair I've really struggled to find any info on the strange thing is that the upholstery on it is quite particular (mother in law was a high end upholsterer in a past life) it's been noted how the front piece where your calf's would rest is all one piece of fabric rather than 3 stitched pieces (apparently unusual and costly to do)

Apologies for not putting this in the right section thank you for moving it.

 

So the ercol research led me strangely to ikea, it seems the wooden chairs are Esbjerg from 1950s Ikea..

 

I am glad you found an answer!

 

Welcome, @Andrew Rogers -- interesting chairs. I'm not a furniture expert and would not have been able to help with these. But learned something!

 

Interesting article on the history of IKEA. I had no idea it began in the early 1940s by one young Swedish village man: https://sweden.se/business/ingvar-kamprad-founder-of-ikea/

 

I knew IKEA was older than it seemed. Their early stuff has got very collectible.

 

Thanks all, just trying to figure out the other one now lol

 

So appears these may not be IKEA after all, the arms on ours are bowed and curved which you don't see on the IKEA ones, it's very frustrating just no idea what they are worth and we are struggling to keep them in the house as they are just too large
