    Considering Vitra sell them for anywhere up to $1500, for what is essentially just injection moulded plastic (not even fibreglass!), is there any wonder why people seek out replicas?

    I'm not condoning it, but more people would buy the "real thing" if there wasn't a gazillion percent markup just to have "Knoll" or "Vitra" stamped on the bottom of it.
