I know you all are always good at scavenger hunts! Can you please help me find where these chairs are from? In the pictures, they're the chairs with the 2 different fabrics.

Thank you all!

These below:

Check Craigslist, estate sales, Goodwill/Salvation Army, "antique" and resale stores, garage sales. Those chairs are from ca 1960-70’s probably. You can post your ad in Craigslist. Good luck!

The picture is clearly of a doctor's office waiting room that is very dated.

The furniture is probably over 40 years old. I'm thinking 1970s, maybe 1960s.

Your only chance of finding them is at Goodwill or somewhere that carries authentic retro furniture.

Also try Craig's List, Pennysaver and estate sales.

Thanks for the reply, but I think they are newer chairs. They are in an office reception area, so they needed to buy a good quantity of them. Just can't figure out who manufactures them.

Thanks so much!

It's a casual, laid back style - may be coming across as old but they are within 3 years old actually! I'm going to see the office in the next day or so, so hopefully he will know but I'm not sure he will.

Thanks again!

I'll put money on them being antiques. My son's dentist office has that furniture and it is NOT new.

I'm 45 and remember that type of furniture from my earliest childhood memories.

If they are new, they a bad retro replica.

Not sure why you're asking us since you know where they are located and who owns them.

So sweet, like I said in my post, I doubt he's going to know where they were bought. He probably didn't do the purchasing - hence why I am asking. Glad you like them, too. (:

Your picture is to small to see the details.

I can't believe they are new. I'm not trying to insult your taste. It's all a blast from the past for me. If they are new, they are replicas.

I also thought they were antiques. When you go to the office just look under the chair for a stamp.
