@MOgundehin I've written a blog about the Arco lamp furore. Thought you might want to have a look http://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 http://t.co/hfQo0r3q

Dezeen Wire! Update on "Arco-gate" replica furniture furore from Elle Decoration editor @MOgundehin: http://ow.ly/6NTZ4

Arcogate round2 posted on my blog... ding ding! Be warned, I don't appreciate being called elitist one little bit... http://t.co/nG1k3Q27

Additional quote now added from Daniel Aram. Thankyou @aramstore #Arcogate

Read this by @MOgundehin before you make the very wrong decision of buying design replicas. http://t.co/fE8KCdNx

@MOgundehin Go Michelle!!! Proud of you. That needed to be written.

@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 Seen this? http://t.co/nNBALFMo

@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: http://t.co/rHr7LpEo ... then repro brand fights back: http://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
