Hi - I am trying to purchase a GOOD Florence Knoll style sofa in cream / off white leather (2 - seater) - so far I have become more and more confused as most of the replica dealers seem to be showing REAL Knoll sofa pictures - I am worried that the actual item will have inferior looks (particularly the 'wider' width in the arms - I can't afford an original but want as near as possible to it - does anyone have any recomendations ? Retro-Europe on EBay are selling one for 599 which looks fab in the pic but am worried that this is not the actual one !!! All suggestions / help would be most appreciated.
We sell these if thats any help
on Go Modern or Modern-Classics-Direct (both .co.uk). Both to original dimensions (the arms were made wider in the first batch, but then were reverted back to the original dimensions), & very good quality. Leather coverings only - no fabric.
We do have pictures of 'our' one (its the off white one) but that is a picture of the wider armed one. Which is confusing!
We will have a studio in Lots rd (SW10) by mid feb, & as soon as we do we will get photos of the one we have in situ. This is one of our biggest sellers, & I love them, although they are pretty firm so Ill stick with my cognac LC2 for now.

hi Wayney,
I just came across a site called moderndose.com. They have Knoll reproductions, the 2-seater is only $1595! I don't know a thing about them but at that price I would like to order one myself or even their 3-seater which is only $1995. Does anyone know anything about this company and in particular the quality of their reproductions and their service? Where are they shipping their products from?
Try them first.
Before buying the the replica sofa, you really need to try it first. Some of the replicas are really uncomfortable and built poorly. Try saving up for the true Knoll, used or new. I'd think waiting for a good used Knoll is more than just a smart purchase, it's an investment. In the meantime, buy a cheap Ikea sofa to use while saving.
repro site
I just found this today, I have no Idea the quality, but 10% off(over $500) and free shipping. It may be the same items that other stores sell for more. I love the designer furniture, but I should have just started collecting shot glasses and i'd have a full savings account.

Good lead James. I can't even tell if they're selling replicas or used licensed repros. The Knoll sofa for instance is just called the Classic sofa and it's only $1750. At least they have an "About Us" and contact info and address on their site which makes them a bit more legit than some other suspicious sites like Moderndose.com. I'd get more info on them before ordering them but so far I'm enticed by the products and prices.

I have actually made several purchases from Moderndose including a set of eames inspired office chairs which my husband and I love. I had better luck with email than via their voicemail system. I did find them to be very attentive and helpful. The quality of the chairs definitely exceeded any other repros I've seen so far!

hey Greenjunky,
I did a search on your name on this forum and didn't find any other posts you've replied to or written before. Something tells me you're from Modern Dose trying to fool the rest of us. I could be wrong but I'm leery of first timers affirming a business that doesn't seem to be legit.
