Hi guys,
in a shop found a new Eames lounge chair with ottoman original vitra for about 3000 Euro.
Since the price seems interesting, how i can understand if the chair is really the original? i just found two labels in the bottom of the cair...
Then the chair has white leather and black painted shell, do you now it vitra used to produce this configuration, i'm not able to find references about it.
Thanks in advance

I have a friend with what sounds like a similar chair bought in the 90s. Because she has an aversion to woodgrain and leather together (odd but she's in her 80s so i guess its up to her)but wanted a 670 she told me she'd had to custom order the black painted shell/white leather combo from Vitra. IMO not a happy combination.
All black
Looks like they have also reproduced one of the early Time-Life stools that Ray designed but that never went into production.

Sampei80 we can't see your image but I have seen the combo before on the net.
I don't mind it but white leather is probably my least preference due to the easy discolouring over time.Also the white leather seems kinda contemporary 90s or 2000s unless you are going for the full modern monochrome interior which it would suit.
Just my opinion though.
This one was sold by Firma in London.
