My view on the original vs replica debate is that if you can justify the cost of an original, that's awesome. Most people though are not in a position to do so,
The fact of the matter is that most people are not really in the market for a £6k chair.
The replicas will obviously not be of the same standard as the original, but top quality replicas are often far superior to any other chair at the £1k price point.
To compare an original to a replica is to compare apples and oranges.

Eames-chair from IKEA?

I have an old fake eames lounge, and it is damn comfortable, and lasted for 30 years. If you can afford the original, buy one. The higher quality reproductions aren't too bad. I may even get mine recovered. Don't buy the really cheap fakes. Don't buy over the internet. You've got to sit in it, and inspect to see that it's well made. Some literally have cardboard construction in parts, so be careful.

I wish I could afford one of these :\

I have an original - which I bought online back when buying online wasn't fashionalbe for $1800... here's the thing... the originals with the down filler are SUPERIOR to all others, authentic new or repros. Worth the wait/hunt.

I got one a while back, rosewood and black leather. Expensive but it's very well made.

Cheers for your thoughts. Yep, im going for it. surely 850 pounds will get a real quality repro? One day I will sit my hairy arse the genuine chair and sip Brandy. Until that day...half a man I may be.
dont do it...the rip offs are sad and a compromise...save ur pennies...u'll appreciate it...i did and everyday i love what i am looking at, not looking at it thinking its a repro....
