OK, the original Eames lounge chairs were licensed to Vitra and Miller. Now those companies charge a premium for their name. But the designs can now be legally copied, so are there any companies that produce repros that are true to the original design (materials, construction, etc.) without the name premium?
After all those objects were designed for industrial production, so I wouldn't place a premium on the name of the company they happened to be first licensed to. Or is my reasoning somehow flawed? (Yes, that's a genuine question.)
Thanks in advance for your help.
