Eames molded chairs are a timeless classic that’s experiencing a full-out renaissance. Find me one respectable startup that doesn’t have them surrounding the perimeter of a walnut conference table. But at $300 and up, it’s hard to resist the temptation of a shoddy, outsourced knockoff. Now, Ikea—the king of cheap furniture—is offering a line of chairs that are clearly deeply inspired Eames and the other mid-century chair design gods. In fact, when you really deconstruct the new line, it’s like a Frankenstein collection of greatest hits, from the curvy seat of the Eames molded chair, to the legs and connective tissue of the Jasper Morrison Hal Tube (which was actually made in 2012), to the high arms of the Vico Magistretti Maui chair, to the cello back of the Arne Jacobson Ant Leg chair (technically 2005), to the wood veneer of Jacobson's Series 7 chair. Ikea is offering the options to mix and match these pieces to create your own hybrid, starting at a mere $34 and peaking out at $60.
Of course, a lot has been lost in translation. While all of the original designs were also the products of mass manufacture, Ikea’s chairs simply look cheap. None has the almost impossible to define visual harmony at play in the original specimens. It’s as if you can see the literal corners that have been cut to shave fractions of pennies off the build to make a few extra bucks at scale. But maybe the worse sting is that dorm rooms everywhere will soon approach the same design sensibility as your carefully manicured apartment. Never miss a story.

Charles & Ray were an American husband and wife team that changed furniture design and architecture during the 20th century. They were vital in popularizing new materials and techniques for crafting furniture, such as using molded plywood, fiberglass, plastic resin and wire mesh. This item is not an original Charles & Ray Eames Lounge chair, nor is it manufactured by or affiliated with Herman Miller.

For most of us, purchasing a licensed reproduction Eames chair, from Herman Miller in the USA or Vitra in Europe, carries a hefty price tag (over £5,000 on average) and yes I say 'licensed reproduction', as unless you are lucky enough to find an authentic vintage chair in a garage sale or via Ebay then it is, technically, a reproduction, under license, of the original design. Fuelled by demand for such an iconic piece of furniture, the replica Eames lounger market has exploded in recent years. Design purists have (begrudgingly) accepted that some of the good reproductions available are pretty exact to the specification and quality of the original design, but how does one choose the good reproduction, from the minefield of poor copies and cheaply made imitations? First and foremost, it would be wise to dismiss anything under circa £500. Just ask yourself, would you really get a good quality leather lounge chair and ottoman, properly engineered and finished in high quality upholstery at that price level?
The old adage of "if it's too good to be true, then it probably isn't" remains. There are mid-priced ranges, which all vary in finish and detail, up to ones (such as the ones we retail), which we consider to be as close to the original as possible in terms of quality, attention to detail and finish. Here is our buyers guide for choosing a replica Eames lounge chair: There were manufacturing variations to the chairs over the years and different bases were designed for the US and European markets and slight differences were designed on US and European models so dimensions of models varied and some were produced slightly wider and larger. There is a wealth of information available online about the history of these iconic chairs so it is also worth doing some research on the different styles and the design history, to help with the decision on choice of base, leather and veneer you would like, prior to going shopping.
