Although there are some knock-offs on the market, most replica-style furniture pieces aren’t identical copies of designer brands. Most manufacturers will create their own interpretation of existing furniture to their own quality standards or take inspiration from furniture where the copyright has expired. garden parasols Replica-style furniture can be of very high quality, sometimes even surpassing the quality of the furniture it was inspired by. This makes it a great buy, especially for those working with a smaller budget, allowing people to experience high-end styles, designs and patterns at a fraction of the cost The history of replica-style furniture Replica-style furniture first started gaining in popularity at the start of this century, making it one of the newer furniture styles in existence today. At first, it mainly focused on furniture pieces that had lost their patent or copyright protection, but it has since developed into a style of its own, combining various different designer-styles to create unique furniture pieces at affordable prices. Recent changes in legislation have extended the copyright that designers enjoy to way after their passing, making it much harder for furniture manufacturers to find pieces with expired copyright. This has forced producers to switch to more unique styles, improving the furniture they sell and making it far more unique than it was in the past. However, there are also furniture designers that encourage direct replicas, many of which emphasize the accessibility to great design. So, although many of today’s replica-style furniture is inspired by the original as opposed to a direct copy, some manufacturers do still make direct copies of designs if the designer has given the green light to do so or if the copyright or patent has expired. Directly copying furniture that is protected by copyright or a patent is luckily very uncommon since it’s against the law.
