Hello,Can anyone help with tips on how to authenticate a BRNO chair? There are two sets I am interested in (see pics), both are roughly 25 years old and do not have any stamps or stickers that I can locate.Any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks!

Hello AMF.
I don't know much about the tubular version, but I do have a few flat-bar Bruno's. Consider measuring the chair, and I always carry around a magnet (my front tooth that SDR gave me doubles a decent magnet). The seat and back on the pictured flatbar appear a bit swollen, leading me to think that they are knock-offs...but I'm sometimes wrong.

also, the chair should weigh 41 lbs.

Best,
Aunt M

Thanks for the pointers. I also though the flat bar chairs looked a little too plush. The tubular ones look like they might be legit.
Again thatnks for your help. Grealy appreciated!
