Our post Genuine fakes? Eames Demetrios responds sparked a bit of debate and we thought one reader raised an interesting point in the following comment;
“would you ever buy a fake? ”
It’s an interesting question, because it’s not like the furniture was all made by the hand of the “artist” or designer. Whether it was Herman Miller or another company, as long as the quality is the same, “fake” or licensed shouldn’t matter.
That’s really the question. Licenses or unlicensed rather than real or fake
(Comment from Genuine fakes? Eames Demetrios responds)
We thought we should add that not only to Herman Miller hold the license to manufacture and distribute Eames furniture in the United States and throughout Australiasia (Vitra hold the European license), they also work under the guidance of the Eames family who protect Charles and Ray Eames legacy.
