Hello,

Yes, it's another one of those. I have these four chairs, they're quite old and not in great condition. Bin them or fix them? They're all very heavy and fibreglass.

Saarinen, the bases look wrong to me?

Eames, no markings and the seats have thickness as in a hollow two wall construction unlike the daw chair.

Knockoffs. And poor ones at that.

Krueger Metal Products and Burke Inc. made a ton of the Saarinen-style tulip chairs back in the day. Those are the two vintage versions I see most often.
