While perusing some of my favorite sites for home furnishings, I’ve noticed an influx of brand new 1960’s and 1970’s-inspired designs. Sure, you can purchase authentic vintage goods, but they usually come with a not-so-vintage price tag. I’ll be posting my finds of  super affordable modern vintage looks this week!

Have you ever paid a visit to the gorgeous and overpriced store Design Within Reach and thought to yourself, “Yeah right!

I found so many affordable look-a-likes that I decided to focus on chairs, with more to come later…
Can you tell which of the above chairs is the deal? The first one is the Diamond Lounge Chair by Harry Bertoia, which retails for $877.

Love this Barcelona Chair (above) but can’t afford the $5000 price tag? Why not get this handsome doppleganger for only $131.99 instead:
The red Egg Chair below will set you back a whopping $6000…
…but you can get a similar one in gray or orange from Ikea for $399.
