Fake Y-chair

We feel pain when a product created with superior craftmanship and love is being copied like in this case. The Y chair // “Wishbone Chair” designed by Danish legend Hans J. Wegner has been produced by our Danish colleagues Carl Hansen www.carlhansen.com for almost 60 years.

We love the attention to details and feel almost sick seeing how the Copycat cut corners and take shortcuts trying to duplicate such an icon as the Y chair. Potential owners of this copy will learn it the hard way, since only true quality stand the test of time.

To all design fans - do not believe all you see, get close and FEEL it.
To the Copycats - If you mess with our friends you mess with us!!!!

It has to look right – to feel right!

We got a little worried when we found this Grundig computer at our gate leaving Frankfurt Airport. Let’s hope it is not this kind of hardware that handles the airplane-traffic at one of the most busy airports in Europe.

This is what happens when you don’t make nice placements for bicycles… This could be art, but an architect could probably do a better work?Louise

We have just discovered that Zone Denmark likes our “Pot for one flower” so much that they have decided to make a very similar product.
The world is full of great designers, so Zone, let us know if you need help finding a unique design – rather than just copying from others.

Cars on the way to the Airport in LA

Coming to LA can be a nice experience, but leaving again it aren’t easy. This is the look from the ramp which takes you on to the (only) way to the airport. You need plenty of time to be able to catch your airplain – it took me close to 5 hours to drive the last 3 miles. So far nobody has designed another or alternative system such as a train, to the cars and the highway. Maybe we have a good competition project for the next generation of designers in the infrastructure field.

I was in need of a scissor and went out to buy one. I came home with this one… just to find out that I am in need of a scissor to get it in use! Fantastic packaging…

This is what we think of companies copying our design. So Lakeland get into the game, and start producing something original…you cheap copy cats.
