Almost forgot.

Here are some pictures of my "practice" room. (I'll be moving to a larger apartment soon.) Those of you familiar to the Bertoia design should be able to immediately notice the detail differences between mine and the licensed.

Good Questions: Insight on Reproductions of Design Classics?

Everyone,

Thank you all for the excellent input. ManofSteel, as an artist myself I do understand the importance of keeping things original but I have to agree more with what HamidZ32 said. The licensed versions are far too expensive. Considering that suburb reproductions exist, could you really justify spending the extra $2500 for a Knoll signature stamped on the frame? Besides, one must keep in mind that these people have been dead a long while and no longer are able to feel the support or see the checks they earned. Call me cynical but I wouldn't let licensed pricing get in the way of letting me appreciate Ludwig's Barcelona chair each day.
