Hi All,
Is it possible to get the 4 replacement metal clamp type parts that sit underneath the seat of a Bertoia side chair? If so does anyone have any websites they would recommend for this spare part, besides Knoll themselves.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Are you referring to the metal pieces that are used to mount the seat to the base?

Good luck
I tried to find them to replace some broken strings on a few old covers. I looked for a while on line then just gave up and sprung for new covers with snaps.

Hi
It will probably be difficult to find replacements since the later and current production chairs do not use that part. You might try to find some old chairs that are in rough shape in order to salvage the parts.
Did yours break or something?

Not sure anyone will see...
Not sure anyone will see those parts but it shouldn't be too difficult to refabricate some?
There are two different mounts, which one is it? Image below, or the hook/loop type?

Hook loop type.....
Thanks for all your help guys. its the Hook loop type, from doing some more in depth research it looks although its just a bolt required? It appears the loop type was used on the 60's productions.
Nico59 I happened to come across those clips that I think you were talking about on my spare-part hunt, theyre available here:

Yes
For that type of mount, you would just need the proper size bolt and nut (and washer, if you like).
