I'd have to check but I bet, in real terms, those wanes chairs are around the same price as they were, adjusted for inflation. What has happened is the production of even cheaper mass produced furniture. What you're not looking at is the extinct hand made, ornate expensive furniture from the decades prior. Things that would be, if sold now, even more pricey than an eames chair. Properly cared for, one of those chairs will last a lifetime. That cannot be applied to cheaper furniture.
