Most ...I liken good reproductions to generic drugs. Most people don't have any qualms about buying generic drugs if it saves them money...but only if the quality is good. If the manufacturer makes an inferior product, that's another thing altogether.<br /><br />Design patents are only good for 14 years, and after that, it's entirely legal to make reproductions. I bought reproduction George Nelson clocks for a grouping in my house. I chose them carefully for their faithfulness to the original design and will use them till I can find real Nelson clocks at a price I can afford. That said, I have an intense personal dislike for a lot of the cheap, tacky mid-century knock-offs being made today. They do a disservice to the designer.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-24611249182062781592012-09-19T17:56:51.873-05:002012-09-19T17:56:51.873-05:00Dana, thank you for the way in which you explained...Dana, thank you for the way in which you explained your open minded point of view about reproductions or "in the style of" pieces. This topic has produced some very opinionated, strong responses in blogs. I also feel like we have a right to have the "look" we desire in MCM decor even when we don have the big bankroll.

The Vitra name might be worth something to some folks, but it's not worth an additional $430 to me. :)Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-4749674028295007032011-10-23T13:44:25.448-05:002011-10-23T13:44:25.448-05:00@Rachael: Thanks!
