We work with the manufacturers who own the license to produce these iconic pieces, like those designed by Charles & Ray Eames, Mies van der Rohe, Eero Saarinen and Arne Jacobsen. Anything other than an Authorised Original is a copy. Due to the popularity of many of these designs, they are all copied extensively. We firmly believe in protecting the rights of the original designers who put so much work into creating their ground-breaking designs. Unfortunately, UK copyright law is often not robust enough to stop the manufacturers of copies from misleading the public. You can often tell a copy from an original purely from the price, as many of the cheap copies are imported from China. However, some copies are better than others, and the manufacturers use phrases such as "genuinely made in Italy" to suggest the pieces are genuine. In the case of genuine Eames furniture, it is in fact made in Germany!
