Hi. I’m in Turkey. And i bought a new Eames Chair. Look at this chair and say replica or not. It’s so comfortable and looks good. Please help me. Best regards.

Reported

is it 650 or 29?

Needs a few clicks of LSC.

Trust me, there are no original items in Turkey.

Your country’s approach to human rights is pretty original.

I think it is 29.

Looks more like 26 to me

**** me is that chair a thing? Stayed in an airbnb that had them, they were crap and we assumed they were at least cheap crap.

OK, so I’m still trying to work out the angle here, I assume there is a serious Mod conference going on right now….

There is no angle.
One post, one random link to Turkish website seeking things.
Spam.

What is going on here?

I’ve never been to Turkey (I’ve eaten it though), what’s it like? I’ve flown over it on the way to Cyprus & thought, ‘looking forward to Xmas dinner’

There is a city in Turkey called Batman. True Fact.

is this real or faked?

Looks like a replica to me.But then i have no idea what an eames chair is

Parts of the North circluar are like a dirt track in Kumlubuk.

To be fair to OP he has came to the right place for expert chair advice, as it is we’ll know around the universe that STW forum dwellers are experts at everything (including chairs, excluding bikes)

So in answer to the OP, I’m going to confirm it’s 100% genuine a real chair. If OP wants to send me the money in US dollars I will purchase it for him and post it to him.

Who’s to say what is and what isn’t real in this crazy topsy turvy works in which we live.

I can hold the cash in my Western Union account as security until it is delivered, I would also like one and can pay in full but it is for my cousin who starts work there soon, I am unfortunately stuck at the UN for the next few months so will organise a collection.

Please do not be racist. I get screen shots. I did not choose the country I live in. Do not be discouraged.

Some ideals for living right there IMO.

Hex bolts and cross head screws – it’s a fake.

whats the capacity? What does it look like when somebody is sitting on it?

Can you put it next to another, not fake Eames chair and take a photo so we can compare it?

Is there a maximum weight for this chair?

Side view of the legs please, are the bolt flush or sunk into the wood?

Is the seat a gelcoat fibreglass or ABS plastic?

I’ve asked my brother in law to buy one on my behalf.

It is £500 + vat.

I hope I like it.

I reckon this is the first of the Russian bots infiltrating our ranks.

We’ll all be brainwashed and voting Brexit in the second referendum before you know it.

39.49£

At that price it must be a real one!

I’d say fake. The silver bolts look unrefined; but the real giveaway would be the feet, which are too basic and cheap looking. I’d expect Vitra/Eames to use two-piece thread-in feet that come on their other chairs, probably with a felt pad too. Those generic screwed-on plastic things look terrible. Also, it would be stamped Vitra and Eames somewhere on the seat. You should have been paying around £350 for that chair new, however that translates to your currency.

As an aside: I’m rather disappointed by the less-than-veiled prejudice/racism on this thread.

First time poster joins STW to spam us with a chair?? It’s nothing racist as such just paying out the spammer

Could you send us a picture of you on the chair so we can assess its sturdiness?

I got two of those for £15 off eBay. Good for the kids. Keep an eye on the bolts, bit of loctite helps. I suspect your chair will not make you rich, soz.

Oh, not racist ‘as such’. So just a little bit, slightly, sort of racist; the OK sort, because the person doesn’t really matter anyway? I get it; thanks Mike.

But this obviously was the right place to ask.
