some information on the manufacturers:
founded in 1948 by the british businessman charles france and his danish partner eric daverkosen. In the early years, the company was called france & daverkosen, charles’s son james joined the company in 1957 which resulted in the name change to france & son.

at the very beginning, the company produced mattresses. They then developed the idea to use two simple loose sprung cushions on their first chairs which would pave the way for a whole new generation of minimalist framed modernist chairs and furniture to follow. This piece has an attribution mark,
