That’s the name of a store officially selling Herman Miller’s Eames furniture range in the United States, couldn’t resist it. At another U.S. retailer, the Eames office, the cost of an Eames DCW (Dining Chair Wooden) varies between $629 and $1149 depending on the finish. If you shop around in Melbourne you can find similar chairs being sold for between $129 and $929 (if you want one dressed with the hide of a pony). These local chairs, all found from a search at Google Australia, all happen to be fakes, or, more euphemistically, replicas . The authentic Herman Miller chairs, quite lost in the search results, are made in places like the U.S., Canada and Italy. The replicas are made in China, not that they are called replicas there – they go by their original product names, sometimes even incorporating the Herman Miller name.
