Someone asks me recently about buying a reproduction to add to his collection. The reproductions are every where, and they cost only a fraction of the real mccoy. An ID from a popular design house in Singapore told me, the Eames Lounge Chair is very popular, but how many people would pay the thousands for the real thing. Of course they buy the "fakes", he continued to tell me that a couple bought a fake Eames Lounge Chair for SGD2000, but that chair soon broke within a year. The Eames's back came off. The couple then bought another repro. The reproductions are usually manufactured in China, they may look good from the outside, but the quality is not there.
When you buy a Herman Miller or a Vitra, you are paying for quality. Each piece is assembled, signed off and packed by a craftsman and his signature is on that piece of furniture. You can feel the privilege of opening up a new Herman Miller box, and each piece of furniture comes with it's certificate of authencity.
The Eames Lounge Chair made in the 50s and 60s are still in the living rooms of many American families. Each Herman Miller furniture can last for a long time.
Very nice. I stumbled upon your site and like what I have seen. Cool pics too.

When it has to do with purchasing living room furniture, leather is almost always a smart choice. The sofa contains a corner-blocked wooden frame that gives the sofa sufficient sturdiness. Read Me for more information about hammock stand.
