Double take...

I saw these cool Italian 1950's chairs on 1st Dibs this morning and realised they looked familiar...

I found this chair on the Williams-Sonoma Home website a little while ago and fell in love.


The originals are $7600 (US) for the pair...the WS version....a mere $995. They're pretty close...don't ya think?

    Shockingly, amazingly close. If you got hung up on the cushion, you could easily have a new one made and still come out ahead. I guess it depends on whether you are a purist or not.

    Very close indeed. Not sure if I will succumb..I'm running out of space in my apartment for new furniture - what a travesty!

    They're actually American, made by Mastercraft. The Italian attribution is incorrect
