Spencer Street Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Thanks!I've found a tag under the seating saying Knoll International... But they don't have this chair listed on their website. I wonder why... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 According to the site with the picture, it was only in production 1953-1968. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 It might be the real deal.Saarinen secretarial chair from Knoll: Hmm... The red chair's back is wider at the top than at the bottom. The black chair's back is wider at the bottom than at the top. Either they're not the same chair, or someone at the factory had an off day. Also, the bracket holding the chair back in place is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
