Eames Lounge Chair.

[Closed] Eames Lounge Chair.

Always fancied one of these. with matching ottoman. I think you're looking art about £5K though so not going to be buying one any time soon. Just for curiosity I was looking on eBay for them and was surprised to see the market flooded with reproductions for basically a tenth of the cost of an original. So, anyone ever bought one? I know it won't be an original and won't stand up to forensic inspection should a modernist designer ever pop round. But I am tempted. They look exactly the same, maybe not as nice leather as the original, but my spidey sense is tingling. Will I never be able to relax in such a chair knowing it's a cheap copy? Will it collapse as soon as I sit in it? Or is it a case of the design patent has expired and the repro's are just as good as the original etc? Reproduction example Original
