Replica

In the modern world, people not only wish to have things, they often wish to have recognizable items that also define themselves to others and to themselves. These types of items are often copied, but seldom are the copies openly promoted as copies. In Brisbane we however found a shop that is doing just that.

The warehouse was filled with furniture and home ware that looked familiar for the readers of interior journals.
The objects seemed like they were designed by designers.
The pricetag announces this being a replica. The price is one fifth of the original.

A lot of effort has been put to replicate the male athletes doing whatever they are doing in this one.

Enjoy your unique week!

Marimekon inspiroimina kävimme tutkimassa lokaalia Replica-kauppaa. Australiassa on näemmä ihan ok myydä jäljennöksiä design-tuotteista! Suomalaisista tuotteista bongasimme ainakin Eero Saarisen ja Alvar Aallon tuotteita, mikä ei ollut vaikeaa, sillä kopioinnin lähde oli kerrottu tuotelapussa.

Omalaatuista viikkoa!
