Looks like the Netherlands version of McKenzie Childs !!  They design their own furniture now but started by painting existing chairs,tables ect  !!

I think that when we could find the country where this kind off support springs are used . Then maybe the paint will be easyer to determine if it was made by artist or a group like a tribe ? The symbols are looking a bit  like the symbols off native Americans . So if these seats are maybe American constructed seats with this contruction then maybe ?  Could be totally wrong but you never know  :-\

Try looking at Tensions Springs and/or Parker Knoll Springs.

Wish I could help more.  The only thing I know is that these type of springs were used in the UK.

They are bright/cheerful!  Would sell well here in the US.
