I have a set of 4 possible Sarinen Tulip Chairs. They look almost exactly like the set in the Brady Bunch's dining room!

They have a round metal base (no "legs"), the seat is orange vinyl (don't know if it's original).

The only identifying mark is under the fiberglass/plastic seat, it says "Est Grafton, Wis 4010" and on the metal base, it states "Grafton, Wis 3918".

Does anyone have any info???

Thanks in advance,

Shannon

Sounds like not Knoll
Send a photo of the thing and I can tell you for sure but sounds like not Knoll. Most knoll bases made in US have BR51 molded into the base underneath. Wisconsin sounds like Burke or one of the american companies that made tulip knock off sets.
