Plycraft, maker of many an Eames knockoff, produced two pieces by George Mulhauser that might fill the bill. The first is clearly inspired by the Eames lounge but sufficiently different that they can't be confused. Mulhauser's version has a larger headrest, for a Bond villain vibe, and no tufting. Also, the back and headrest are made from a single piece of bent wood, which is pretty nifty. The second is the better known Mr. Chair. You can see them here. They're both relatively common and nice specimens can be had for less than a grand. Personally, I would not consider a direct rip of an Eames lounge. i was looking into some information for a Eames Lounge chair, the highest quality ones. I found 2 companies in particular with what seems to be the best materials and claimed craftsmanship.
Has anyone heard of these guys ? RoveConcepts, they are from Canada and IconicInteriors from UK. I'm leaning towards RoveConcepts, mostly for the fact its much easier to ship.

Charles Eames and Ray Eames have a legacy for making furniture and were well known architects of their times. They had also worked for Hollywood movies. They had studied architecture in the University of Washington. This architect duo with their archetype ideas and insight created a design philosophy called the banana leaf parable. As per the duo, the banana leaf can transform into something very ornate. Going by this philosophy, they started to create remarkable designs in furniture that were usable and had aesthetic value.
This couple created some groundbreaking industrial design and furniture design. Ray Eames was a student of abstract expressionism. The couple started designing plywood and plastic furniture and later exploited the graphic design and fine arts as motifs in furniture design. Eames Lounge chair that is still sold by many retailers online and offline is manufactured using their design philosophy of transforming art into a usable design. The ottomans and the lounge chairs created by this couple are more than a century old and the design still stand out even in the modern, contemporary world.
