There's even a fake Ikea in China

Well, I guess since most (all?) Ikea stuff is made in China, there's bound to be some pretender Ikeas:

Quote:
It seems that Kunming in the southwest corner of China is the world capital of knock-off shops.

Apple recently found five counterfeit versions of its stores there after blogger BirdAbroad posted photos of one online - and now a fake Ikea has surfaced.

It's called 11 Furniture and is a 10,000 square metre, four-storey replica that's virtually identical to the Swedish-made version.

It copies Ikea's blue-and-yellow colour scheme, mock-up rooms, miniature pencils, signage and even its rocking chair designs. Its cafeteria-style restaurant, complete with minimalist wooden tables, has a familiar look, although the menu features Chinese-style braised minced pork and eggs instead of Ikea's Swedish meatballs and salmon.

rofl


I've been thinking though... with all these major corporations infringing on patents or knowingly ripping people off (banks/investment firms for instance who just agree to pay a fine instead of being labeled "guilty") can you really blame some people in China doing the same?




lol i guess those chinese dramas showing them assembling ikea furniture is actually from this place

i don't know what they can do. Go ahead and sue them.

I didn't think you can say, sorry you're using our yellow and blue color. I don't know how far they can go. I mean, look at Nood, they are copying the same shit to sell to people....

this becomes very interesting but i don't think they can do anything about it.

Walmart is legit, but is only found in 2nd and 3rd tier cities.

Most people shop at Carriefour and Metro.

Btw, Ikea is considered to be a mid-level furniture brand in China (there are much, much cheaper options)

I think the stuff from nood is turn of the century pieces, they are old designs that have been remade. Aren't those like public licenses already?

A lot of IKEA's products are not made abroad. They use a lot of local companies and businesses to make the products.
