Hi Everyone
I recently got my hands on 4 of these chairs and was trying to determine if they are genuine or fakes.
They don't have any herman miller or vitra labels or markings that I can see but I was made aware that perhaps during a period of time they stopped marking these chairs.
Are there any other ways of identifying if it is legitimate?
I have attached some pictures;
I would really appreciate your help.

Hi- They look like current Vitra production to me.

Thanks Woodywood
Can I please ask what features you have used to determine that? In my head I just want to be confident they are genuine.
I just visited Mattblatt a replica furniture sales company and their copy was far cheaper looking than mine.
Any feedback would really help put my mind at ease.
Thanks again.

Some pointers: the overall shape and construction, the use of torx screws, and the felt on the bottom of the glides.
