Description
Click on Alibaba.com and you will find every single mid-century modern furniture classic knocked off and sold for literally a tenth of the price of the real thing. The differences are subtle, but if you put the original side by side with the knock-off, the differences are clear. This lecture will look at a selection of Knoll, Herman Miller and Scandinavian modern furniture classics and reveal what to look for when evaluating the authenticity of such examples.
