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 5k 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 and by the hefty price tag of licensed versions, the replica Eames lounger market has grown 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 a good reproduction from the minefield of poorer copies and cheaply made imitations?

First and foremost, it would be wise to dismiss anything under circa five hundred . Just ask yourself, would you really get a good quality leather lounge chair and matching ottoman, properly engineered and finished in high quality upholstery and real wood veneers, 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. Some of these will have veneering only on the outside to save on material costs, or may use PVC for the piping trim to save on leather costs.Some are better than others in overall aesthetics. You then move up to the high-end reproductions which aim to be as close as possible in terms of quality of materials, attention to detail and the overall finish and build. 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 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.

Reproductions may look the same from far away but the differences are clear as soon as you look at details. Consequently, it can be challenging for our clients to differentiate all the different versions and their respective quality. There are hundreds of factories manufacturing these replicas. We have visited so many factories that we can confidently say only a handful of factories manufacture high-quality Eiffel replicas. We are going to explain what to look at when you want to buy an Eiffel Chair. There are essentially three parts to carefully look at: the seat, the base and the hardware. 1 - The seat's finish You may have seen 4 circle marks on top of the seat when comparing the chairs. These marks should be seen from limited angles only, as on the original chair. The cheap knockoffs will have 4 circle marks very visible from many angles.

We can explain that with the thickness of the seat. The thinner the chair, the less sturdy it is. 2 - The shockmounts The shockmounts of your Eiffel replica chair are the most important parts of the seat as they will affect the durability of your chair. On the pictures below, you can see the big difference between the quality reproductions and the cheap ones. Our seat is a mirror design of the original Vitra version. The cheap versions are undersized in design and have a lack of metal reinforcement at the fixation. There are many variations of these low-grade reproductions on the market and they all have this major weak design. In order to give a stronger and more durable support for your chair, we crease the metal connectors, as on the original base. The cheaper versions are not creased, as you can see on the picture below. A base with creased connectors can definitely support more weight and will be more durable. Every chair we manufacture comes with 3 elements:
