Quality is fantastic — far beyond what you would expect from a copy. The leather feels soft and supple — and it is leather. It is also a high-quality leather. The stitching and finishing details of the leather items are exact and just right – again much better than I expected. The design is different from the original as the base doesn’t have a two-tone finish, the support bars behind the headrest don’t have the two-tone finish on the front (although they do on the back), the chair is slightly shorter than the original, the way the cushions are attached to the chair is different. And the tufting buttons are a bit farther from each other.
The back of the chair is slightly more upright than the Vitra or the HM in particular. The ottoman is a bit longer than the original, or so it seems. These are all the discrepancies I could see when looking at the photos. In terms of ergonomics, the seat is constantly tilted back in a way that is almost shockingly low on the ground, but when I threw my legs on that ottoman and actually let myself sink in, I felt like I had never really enjoyed a chair before in my life.
Like the original, this replica is available in both standard and high heights, made from plywood and genuine leather. If you love the look of the Eames rocker above but are looking for a stationary chair, this armchair is the best choice. The iconic Eames design is so popular, so sought after, that part of me was really hoping it wouldn’t live up to all the hype. Outside Herman Miller and Vitra (the only authorized manufacturer of Eames products for Europe and the Middle East), potential buyers can contact authorized Herman Miller retailers such as Design Within Reach and the MoMA Design Store, or try their luck on 1stdibs, Craigslist, and even Instagram if you like a good chase.
Designed in 1956 by designers Charles and Ray Eames for furniture company Herman Miller, the classic Eames lounge chair exudes a touch of sophistication and a mid-century modern vibe with its grained wood and comfortable leather upholstery. Each lounge chair is handmade in West Michigan, with most storage options ready to be delivered to your door within two to three weeks. After inspecting the chair, I can honestly say that the quality of the leather, the veneers, the workmanship of the metal parts, the assembly is amazing and of very high quality. Things that truly embody the design of the Eames chair include a natural wood frame with black leather upholstery and a chrome-plated swivel stand.
For smaller homes, consider building your seating plan around your new Eames chair, or opt for just the lounge half of the set. This beautiful chair is a replica of the Eames Executive Chair and, like the original design, it is upholstered in genuine leather and features button tufting on the well-padded seat, backrest and armrests. The chair is made from a single molded piece of ABS plastic supported by an Eames Eiffel metal base with anti-slip feet. The backrest is not as wide as the original and the base and armrests lack the weight of the more expensive partner. However, the seat is similar in design to the Eames version, with embossed ribs and a rolled top and front surface and a polished chrome backbar.
We also have the Patience option, which allows you to save 20% if you’re willing to wait 14-20 weeks for your chair. This walnut swivel chair replica has all the features you love from an Eames chair at a fifth the price of an original.
