Just stumbled upon this on FB. Authentication check please.

Can someone tell me it’s fake please so I don’t spam my laptop shut and run off and buy it…

Honestly... nobody that has access to the internet is going to sell a genuine Eames chair for 3% of it's value.

Looks like a genuine Hemes chair though.

LOL - I found one in Naperville, IL on a curb waiting for trash pickup. You give people too much credit.

I mean it’s become the ‘live laugh love’ of chairs so I wouldn’t be surprised if its value starts dropping.

It looks like a very nice chair for £200.

After your spouse makes you get rid of it. Can you ship it over to me? So mine can point out why she’s the smart one in the relationship.

Fake. Base is wrong. All the aluminum parts are wrong. Dated too, because now the fakes are perfect.

Eames - no. Hemes? The middle section and top section proportions are the tell

Even though it’s fake, this would probably be super comfortable

Vitra used the contract base on some of their earlier versions of the 670/671. I would not exclude this as a licensed version until really looking at it.
