[Presto]

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

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.

do they sell fake ikea $1 hot dogs too?

:Puke:

[StylinRed]

rofl :lol


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 :D

they do have a walmart there, whether legit or not that i dont know

[6793026]

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.

[StylinRed]

yeah they've got Walmart there

and supposedly the peanut butter sold in there tastes like shit even though its packaged just like skippys


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

yeah this isn't an outright copy different name slightly different colour scheme (percentage of yellow to blue etc)

[hirevtuner]

i'm not going to trust eating their food, its probably all fake with artificial chemicals and shit

[unit]

^ikea's food isnt exactly all natural and preservative free or anything

[CP.AR]

inb4 hyde

they do have a walmart there, whether legit or not that i dont know
walmart is legit... i think

[bananana]

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)

[Vansterdam]

wonder what they serve at the fake ikea food LOL

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?

[dachinesedude]

Chinamen will do anything to make a buck

They got fake milk powder there for god sake, they'll fake anything

[vafanculo]

Even the Chinese fob escorts will lie to you here to pass themselves off as Japanese or Korean chicks.

lol china

[bloodmack]

Its only fake once you find out.. that would be my Fortune 500 fake-a-company motto.

[Mr.HappySilp]

It will even be more funny if China invented a fake WoW or StarCraft 3 as they call it.

[AutozamAZ-3]

why dont we just make a "fake china thread"?

[TheKingdom2000]

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

[ae101]

i duno about u but the ikea product i have at home all say "MADE IN CHINA", i think they could be from the same supplier :troll:

[phunky.FOB]

[124Y]

LOL wow...

[mickz]

I bet there is melamine in both the furniture and the food.

[EmperorIS]

we have that here.. its called garage inc

[Ronin]

Goddammit, China...why do you insist on making Chinese people look like a bunch of assholes that will do anything to make a buck ten instead of just a dollar?

This is how I envision every business in China is run.

Boss: "Oh, so instead of selling actual formula...we're going to sell fake formula that will kill babies!? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, CHAN?"

Employee #1: "...we'll make eight cents more per hundred units sold."

Boss: "WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?! FUCK THOSE BABIES! LET'S MAKE SOME MONEY!"

Employee #2: "But sir...innocent children are going to die..."

Boss: "Chan, take this traitor to glorious China to the dungeon and have him sent to the prison camps tomorrow....on the way to your promotion!"

Boss: "Eight cents! EIGHT. This shit is going to be so lucky." :sweetjesus:

[hotjoint]
