Anyway, both of our chairs are stamped on the bottom Herman Miller. The mark is embedded into the fiberglass so there is no mistaking who made the chair. The chairs also both have paper labels affixed to them. I suspect your chair is probably not Herman Miller since you have no mark in the fiberglass, but hey it’s still an awesome chair anyway!Sara In AZhttp://www.nopatternrequired.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499453915127182561.post-47943422975702426082011-06-07T20:22:15.226-04:002011-06-07T20:22:15.226-04:00Sara, I have to confess I don't know enough to...Sara, I have to confess I don't know enough to tell a Herman Miller from a knockoff - is there a mark underneath it?

I really do like that color too, it looks almost sparkly in your pics. <br /><br />We found 2 Herman Miller shell chairs (in the shape of your chair) about 6 years ago in a hot, dusty attic-y space in a little antique store. I was all ready to pass on the chairs because I thought we already had enough "stuff" :D, but my husband insisted that we try ro work a deal on buying the 2 chairs. We got each chair for $40. I am glad my husband insisted we get the chairs, seeing what the prices are now for Herman Miller.Sara In AZhttp://www.nopatternrequired.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499453915127182561.post-69733610163279871002011-06-06T18:59:24.112-04:002011-06-06T18:59:24.112-04:00- I agree VC, thanks

I took it all apart and sanded I repainted it. It took a million coats of spray paint but it was worth it. While I was working on it, I kept thinking about you and your projects and how patient you are. I looked to you for inspiration on not rushing it and getting it done right! ;-)Amber Von Feltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12893607211762877902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499453915127182561.post-35507879411246229622011-06-06T13:28:04.995-04:002011-06-06T13:28:04.995-04:00That's an amazing find, and for $30?!
