real eames dkr wire chair?  

anyone?
does anyone have any insight into this? are there any markings on the bikini pad, or on the chair itself to confirm authenticity?

What color / finish
is it?

finish
it is a silver/chrome finish with a black leather bikini pad.

Sorry...
Looks a fake to me. But maybe I'm wrong.

how?
and how can you tell?

Feet don't look right. Seat...
Feet don't look right. Seat mount assembly looks odd. Pad looks too thick. But the most telling factor would be the shiny newness of a chair and pad with no marking...

Addicts?
Am I mistaken?

Hi
I would think that the bikini would be labeled in some way, but that's just a guess. Is it real leather?
The metal frame where the base attaches is different from the vintage chairs. I have not looked a recent production myself. Perhaps you can go to a local Herman Miller dealer and have a look? Another option would be to send the pics to HM.

I have a dkr seat with...
I have a dkr seat with identical seat mount that I bought cheap on ebay in a rush. Compared to a real dkr I have the proportions are kind of odd and the back is very upright, making it quite uncomfortable, so I guess it's a fake.
The picture shows the original seat mount, but then again vitra uses the same kind of mount your chair has on their recent production, I don't know about HM.
A good idea would be to compare your chair to a real one if you can and check the details...
EDIT: similar advice, but you were faster than me, woodywood 🙂
my vintage bikini cover doesn't have any label, but the base of the chair has a hm-tag.

DKR-1
I have some vintage chairs with the one-piece padded cover. Some have the HM tag on the cover and some do not. I think they're all original though.
The current HM and Vitra production should be same since it is made by Vitra. I can imagine that they possibly changed the mounting system since that was a common area of breakage on the older chairs.

Hmmm...
May be authentic then. I haven't seen the recent HM production supplied by Vitra either. However once again, knowing Vitra the chair would certainly be embossed somewhere.

I concur
The shinyness would indicate a new Vitra chair, as would the feet on the base - identical to the newer Vitra Eames shells. But still..something feels...off. And I can't sex precisely what. General sloppiness?
