My friend is lusting after these chairs. We can not seem to find any info on them as to period, style, etc.
If we knew what they were we could search for some.
thanks

They are a modern take on the classic windsor chair. This particular style is called the "Mademoiselle" and was designed in Finland in 1960. Here's some info about them:

I don't know whether they came in pink or whether they were repainted.

These chairs are vintage and were originally black and white, but pink when I bought them. Here´s a link to the designer and Finnish Design Shop who sells new ones:
