Leperflesh posted:Functional things like furniture and clothes can't be copyrighted, so the only IP protections available are patents (invent a novel way of putting together a chair?) and trademark (create a distinctive look that is not derivitive of prior art and is clearly indicitive of your brand). The latter is very very difficult, which is why for example fashion designers sometimes try to work a unique print with their trademarked logo into it, or based on an original work of art for which they have copyright, to prevent it being re-used. You say that but look at this in the EU: https://www.designweek.co.uk/issues/1-7-august-2016/fake-replicas-classic-furniture-designs-now-banned-new-copyright-ruling/

It can be difficult to defend a functional work as primarily intended as art. Particularly if you're mass producing them and selling them in furniture stores. And that defense would be expensive regardless. Platystemon posted:Copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets are different things with different legal protections and it is rarely useful to conflate them. It is useful to combine them into a category of intellectual property, such as when discussing legal protection of original works in general or when seeking an IP attorney, but it's true that tons of people randomly conflate or substitute one term for another (most commonly referring to trademarks as copyrights I think), and there is a looot of general misunderstanding of IP laws and fair use out there.

I don't know how I'm still employed at my current job. My work has been reduced to copying salesforce and I die every day I'm still here.

If I were acquiring the failing automaker Tesla, I’m not interested in their deathtrap manufacturing facilities. I want the name, the patents, the computer code running on their cars or used in production, the whole package.

The “official” ones are manufactured by various producers just the same (Vitra for one), but they have paid for the right to produce them. Official Eames lounge chairs in the UK start at £6000 new, which is just a preposterous price. There are cheap unofficial copies of low quality, but also plenty of high quality ones.

Rotten Cookies posted:Workin' on it Same here. My current stuff is total amateur hour, but mostly am building small stuff while I still learn techniques, that will be replaced later on with more substantial quality stuff I build as I get better. I built this little shoe rack / bench to sit on and store shoes as we don't have a proper entryway and I didn't want a big open shoe rack right by the garage door that goes directly into the dining room. All the dimensions etc were worked out for the space it needed to occupy, the shoes we wanted it to contain and the height that was most comfortable for my partner and I to sit on. Biggest mistake was making doors too big. They look fine in proportion if looking directly at the cabinet at eye level projection (just as I had drawn it). But once it was down on the floor I realized the large doors occluded the curved cutout at the bottom and it looks a bit clumsy. Lesson learned. Design your furniture to look good from the angle it is viewed at in the room, not in a diagram. The top is 3 strips of maple butted with cherry at each end. Proportionally this is identical to the table that will be in the same room. I have some 8' maple planks that will be the tabletop with cherry ends, finished in the same way. It's a fun and rewarding hobby, but I've got a long way to go.   I'll probably have a lot more design questions as we start to take on entire rooms for planning and decorating. We bought a big New England Colonial. It's got white oak floors and white oak cabinets. Not bad looking and will probably keep those that way, but would be good to get some suggestions for building up color palletes / styles based on what we have in place. Current furniture is just all the random crap my partner and I picked up along the way from grad school etc and will ultimately all be replaced by things I build or stuff we decide to buy.

 I wonder how much of that is because millennials realized they don't want or need that much space, and how much of that is because millennials can't afford giant houses(or any houses, if they live on the west coast).

Ahahahahhha oh wait sorry I thought this was the schadenfreude thread and I guarantee it's more the latter than the former, there's a difference between "don't want the space" and "don't need the space, would make use of the space if it was available but the house is too expensive/poorly located even before we start talking about energy costs, maintenance, and property taxes" if you handed someone a studio or a mcmansion and said "these will both cost you the same amount of money" I don't know anyone who would say "studio please"

There's a wide range of sizes between studio apartment and McMansion, though. They can be hard to find if you don't live somewhere with pre-2000s housing stock, but they exist. I might be biased because I grew up in a small house where we made use of all the space, then we moved to a bigger two-story house where two of the rooms rarely got used, the dining room usually only got used as a computer station, the second bathroom almost never got used, and the downstairs family room was effectively my oversized video gaming room. You could have lopped off half the house and there would have been no real effect on our lives. I feel like people overestimate how much space they'll actually use until they've been in a house with more space than anyone in it has a use for(but still has to clean and maintain, because those rooms don't just stop existing when you don't use them).
