Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman, black (nero) leather with a Santos Palisander shell on a polished aluminium base with black sides. Eames Lounge Chair only, without ottoman, black (nero) leather with a Santos Palisander shell on a polished aluminium with black sides base.One could argue that Eames was to furniture design what VW was to car design - functional, durable, aesthetically pleasing and to be affordable to the masses, with the exception of their lounge chair and ottoman which has always commanded a premium price.
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.
