I can tell you exactly when yours was made.... May 1966. Excellent

The four-digit code on the label denotes production month and year - I was told this was how to read the labels by the specialist dealer from whom I bought a lovely armchair (Model No 4205), designed by Aksel Bender-Madsen for Fritz Hansen in 1955.

For the terminally confused like me can you explain how the code on Tenpot's chair translates to May 1966 Nic?

Cheers :0)

Scrub that last message - I worked it out! On the paper label in the second photo you can see the numbers 0566. That's useful info to know - cheers.

OOps, yes - perhaps I should have been a little more clear. :sign19:
