Is it a particular piece eames, panton, grey , starck,sarrinen. For a good all round selection of designer furniture including the classics visit nest.co.uk. where you can also search by designer and manufacturing company.

as with most collectible things these days they are very expensive 
Especially the vintage one's in original, untouched condition.

Swanky Furniture, by huggybear on May 19, 2010 11:34:25 GMT 1, The original vs repro is a tricky dilemma, especially at the higher end of the market. I've been wanting to get my mitts on an Eames lounger and ottoman, but a the ยฃ3000+ for a well worn original is out of my league, especially as I have two kids and three cats who are guaranteed to do their best to de-value it! I'm more likely to buy a decent repro at ยฃ750 and actually use it without getting paranoid about it getting ruined.
