Replica Furniture & Eames Chairs

bsoltan · 2 Jul 2016 at 11:59

Does anyone know anything or bought any replica furniture?

I like the look of an Eames Lounge Chair, originals are about £5,000 and you can get a replica for £400.

I also saw an article on Daily Mail (booo) that said soon copyright will come into force for furniture like this preventing companies from selling replicas of designer products.

Are there any reliable companies to get such a replica from or do I just take a punt and hope the plywood and leather doesn't fall to bits?

Also is there any other replica designer home goods that are worth looking at?

this made me chuckle :-

i wanted one - searched online etc the norm.....

I then found out Aldi in Australia do an exact copy for 400 notes!!! Can you get it in the UK?

obviously not (or if you can let me know!)

Obviously didnt want an original once i found this out.

I've got the premium one from that site. Only had it a few weeks so can't comment on the durability but I'm happy with it considering the difference in cost to a genuine one.
