In the UK the design rights for the Eames chair would have expired long ago. Don't know what the situation is in the US though.

Think the UK is quite unique on this? Most other countries protects designs for far longer

There was a Swedish knockoff design shop that got busted a few years ago. They were registered in the UK but only sold to Scandinavian countries iirc.

As far as I can tell design rights in the US last for 20 years. There are various flavours of IP rights. Copyright, for example, wouldn't apply to designs, only the drawings for the designs.
