I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a difference in the wire size used with vintage Bertoia sides chairs and the current ones today in DWR stores.
It seems like the side chairs produced today have a heavier gauge....or maybe a heavier coating?

Both
Current wire chairs use significantly thicker wire. The curvature of the seat is also different (less upright).

Not exactly....
On current production, the seats are welded directly onto the base (no mounting hardware).
I have an older set (I'm guessing 1980s), where the seat mounts to the base, but the wires are also thicker than vintage.
