I am picking up an Eames reproduction lounge chair and ottoman on thursday evening.
Can anyone tell me who might have made a 3/4 size replica? This was made within recent years and could be asian....
The price is perfect, and my living room is very small, so perfect for a mini version!
Thanks!

plycrfaft or selig
there are a few others but can't think of them offhand at the moment. I sort of remember there baeing a manufacturer in Canada as well. And yes, they take up less space and are comfortable.

China?
how do you know it was made within recent years? I am pretty sure there are pycraft or Selig chairs that date into the 1980's.

its just a guess really. the seller does not know who made the chair. from what i have gathered, the selig and plycraft chairs are generally larger (taller) than the HM. This one is smaller than HM...

My son has a small one
and I reupholstered it about 5 years ago. I vaguely recall a Selig label on it somewhere. It didn't even have the visible bolts on the side, either.
Yours is a Plycraft with those armrests. I have never seen one that is 3/4 size, though. What's the height at the back?
