@MOgundehin I've written a blog about the Arco lamp furore. Thought you might want to have a look t.co/2QZRiyVP
@MOgundehin Here here - just reading through ur discussion re "inspired by" products - not enough protection is given to designers
@MOgundehin True, but I remember when C.Kidston was 1st coming out they had a pretty clear copy of blue/roses design - not sure about that?
I like IKEA. They know their place, honest about offer, some real gems! RT @prettydandyland: So what about Ikea? Where do they fit in?- Personally I agree with @MOgundehin that copies undermine the design industry. So what about Ikea? Where do they fit in?
- Second round of the Arco Lamp kerfuffle with @MOgundehin of Elle Decoration vs. fakes & copies of great design t.co/hfQo0r3q
Dezeen Wire! Update on "Arco-gate" replica furniture furore from Elle Decoration editor @MOgundehin: ow.ly/6NTZ4- Arcogate round2 posted on my blog... ding ding! Be warned, I don't appreciate being called elitist one little bit... t.co/nG1k3Q27
Read this by @MOgundehin before you make the very wrong decision of buying design replicas. t.co/fE8KCdNx
@MOgundehin Excellent piece. In Australia, the word replica seemed commonplace in retail + editorial and completely acceptable. Drove me mad- @MOgundehin I agree wholeheartedly with what you @vitra @FritzHansenUK @skandium_com have said re design classics. Authenticity is absolute
@MOgundehin Good on you ;-) Surely not a very popular view but comes from a moral standpoint. Wholeheartedly agree
@MOgundehin @ELLEDecoUK To buy a copy is based on asthetics, buying an original respects function and sustainibility #Arcogate- @MOgundehin - @FritzHansenUK are glad to be backing the 'fight the copies' campaign. You have our support @ELLEDecoUK
Valid point. Sadly many don't realise they aren't buying genuine article @theolondon @MOgundehin How much of £1615 FLOS version is justified- @MOgundehin Well I'm sure the brothers Castiglioni were they alive & Flos would agree with you.
- @MOgundehin I thought it was arrogant and presumptuous. Your blog was spot on. A design classic is definitive, enduring & should b authentic
@MOgundehin I agree with Iconic Lights. It's a silly & pointless thing to be furious about when there are so many real problems in the world
Handbags! @MOgundehin outs Cameron wife over repro Arco light: t.co/rHr7LpEo ... then repro brand fights back: t.co/4cRd6g5R- @MOgundehin I mean the legal on the copyright issue... 25 years for design but 50 years for music? This is under review, right @jcastoldi?
Great Fake Arco debate by @MOgundehin & @marcusfairs - particularly made me chuckle that perhaps Sam Cam is being 'austerity-conscious' ?- @MOgundehin The law needs to change in the UK. Really helpful piece you posted from @aramstore
