Hey All,
I have the chance to purchase 4 "Saarinen" Tulip chairs voor 400 euro.
I am wondering if there is any chance they are real since the way the base is fixed to upper is quite strange (4 bolts in a square vs the standard 6 bolt in a round).
Hope you guys can help me out since the form and shape look correct to me.
Pictures:
FYI: base is aluminium and upper is fibreglass

Those are some bright, shiny, brand-spanking-new looking chairs!

Seller claims that they have been professionals repainted in a bodywork shop for cars...
One of the reasons why I like to have to your opinion 🙂

they could be from Wattenheimer Kunststoffwerke because off the four bolts and your location Belgium
is there a mark in the bottom?
are you sure it is fiberglass and not (THIN) plastic?
