Fakes of Eero Aarnio Designs
Do you want to own a true design classic or a cheap copy?
Design experts cannot be fooled in this respect, but not everyone is an expert. And at first sight the copies and the originals look very much alike – especially if you lack direct comparison.
Regrettably, many Eero Aarnio fans already fell for low-priced would-be originals.
To prevent you from such misfortune, we have compiled some really hilarious examples from the copyists.

Fake – The Cushioning The copyist seems to be a confectioner, or why is it that the cushioning is divided in that many pieces of cake? |

 |
|
Fake – The Base / Design Is this play dough or a Doric capital? In any case it’s a real good laugh! |

 |
|
Fake – The Base / Construction The sticking point for many copyists. One wrong movement and you will stick to the floor instead of to the chair. |

Fake – Hitting the road The officials of Karlsruhe CID were flabbergasted when they took this “Asian quality product” from the ramp. |

 |
|
Fake – The Padding Honestly: Recycling is just great! But grandma’s mattress as padding for a design object? This goes too far! |
| ||
 |
|
Fake – Pastil Chair Are two peas in a pod really alike? No, because the connoisseur immediately recognizes that these are inferior products from the Far East. |
