I was wondering if anyone here knows of a site that sells a good replica of the Vitra lounge chair with ottoman (as in the picture ;)). It's just about the design and not about the name tag. I heard the excist but don't know where to find them, so if anyone can help it would be great :D!

I have that set. Honestly, I would check "design within reach." I know they were a lot cheaper than other sources. They are actually pretty reasonable. However, this really might be an instance where you get exactly what your pay for.

My chair is so well built I have no doubt I will have it for decades.

Hi, there are many companies that do reproduction pieces. The picture you have shown is of an "Eames" chair, I have several pieces by Le Corbusier, Mackintosh, Eileen Gray etc and they are great. Just like the watches we buy, If you are not prepared to cough up the cash for a gen for whatever the reason, these reproductions can look just as good.
Just type in "Design Classics reproduction furniture" and lots of iconic pieces will come up, but like anything do your homework before you buy, because you might not find them to be as comfortable as they look, good luck.

I know the real ones are of great quality build by vitra, here they cost about €6500,- wich for me right now is a bit to much. I found several sites that sell replica's even some out of my own country (http://www.dominidesign.com/nl/charles-ray-ea670-design-fauteuil-zwart-9953.html) but I mainly hope someone here knows a good site that is trustwourthy to buy of.
