If you’re talking about the red Butterfly Chairs in the Hudson Panos photo, they were designed by Jorge Ferrari-Hardoy, an Argentinian architect, in 1938. Sometimes called Hardoy Chairs, they became very popular in the 1950s.
The chairs on the seventh photo were designed by Antonio Bonet, Juan Kurchan y Jorge Ferrari-Hardoy. They were argentinian, and the name of the chair is BKF.
I stand corrected! You learn something new every day.
Thanks, seen them on many photos from the 50′s, but I couldn’t find any info.
