    I got a hold of them when Wyndham Excelsior Hotel in Berlin was closing down. They seem nice but also lack some of the markings of a Le Corbusier chairs you can buy today. Anyone here that has any expertise in this regard? I'd be very happy to get some help beyond what I can Google. :)

    Are you referring to the Cassina mark?

    "The Italian company Cassina acquired the production and sales rights to these models designed in 1928 by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand by contract dated 23 October 1964. The exclusive rights to manufacture and sell these models were extended from Italy to Europe, to the Americas in 1967 and the whole world in 1971."

    Yes.
    I'm not sure if it's genuine Cassina.
    Any idea how I should price them?

    I'd be very surprised if a decent hotel had bought fakes.

    That's intentional. The hotel didn't want anyone sitting around its lobby longer than 20 mins...

    @Fid Well, you aim to sell them so won't have to suffer sitting in them yourself for too long.

    I've always held the opinion that chairs intended for guests, strangers, should never be too comfortable. Then it's near impossible to get them to leave.

    Agree. They wouldn't have the Cassina mark if they were earlier than mid-1960s. What is your sales venue?
