Copycat furniture designed by well known international furniture designers is for sale at B-B-Club, a new show room for designer furniture, that opened in Pattaya in Thailand on 8 February 2007. "Some of the furniture items on the company’s webpage http://www.b-b-cl... are clearly copies of well known designers," says Tore Kristensen, a design expert at Copenhagen Business School. "I immediately recognised the Barcelona Chair," he adds with reference to Mies van der Rohes famous chair from 1929. XXXXX, one of the two Danes behind the new show room, says the furniture is designed by various Danish designers as well as by himself. "I design some of it myself and other pieces are designed by various designers I know in Denmark," XXXXX says. This claim is suported by the website where it on the day of publishing this article said: "Our in-house designers have monitored the trends and created furniture items that fit the demand of the consumers on the world stage right now." The world famous Pattaya Chair Tore Kristensen's copycat verdict is based on what is on display on B-B-Club’s webpage – which is more or less the same as is sold in the showroom, pointing at some pieces of furniture as copies of famous pieces of furniture by le Corbusier and others as copies of Charles Eames creations. "It is not difficult to copy furniture. A quick look in Taschens 1000 chairs and a trip to a museum in order to measure the chair, and then it is ready for production," says Tore Kristensen. After ‘designing’ the furniture, it is produced in China and shipped to Thailand where it is sold from the showroom at prices that are far lower than what you would pay for the original designs. Big expansion plans The future plan of B-B-Club is to open an even bigger showroom in Pattaya. "We do not have enough room for all our items as it is now, so we are looking into the possibility of purchasing some land for a 2000 square meter show room," says Niels Colov. He emphasises that all plans for the future depend on an evaluation which will take place between the two partners in about three months. "Our hope is to open more stores in Thailand on a franchise basis and also expand into other luxury goods. That is why we have called it B-B-Club and not B-B-Furniture," he says. The idea of the club is that you can pay a 3500 baht membership fee per year and then you are entitled to furniture with a 30 – 60 per cent discount. B-B-Club’s furniture is not limited to the private consumers. "We hope that we can make some of the Pattaya hotels realise that they could double their room prices if they let us be in charge of interior decoration," says Niels Colov who has lived in Thailand for many years. B-B as in Bed & Beauty? The B&B idea is not new. XXXXX is the previous owner of Bed & Beauty stores in Copenhagen. According to the other owner, Niels Colov, XXXXX closed Bed & Beauty just before Christmas 2006 in order to start B-B-Club in Thailand. A glance at the webpage of the previous company shows that designing and selling this type of furniture is nothing new to XXXXX. The new thing is the opening up in Thailand in partnership with Niels Colov. Tore Kristensen has seen many stores like B-B-Club before and he does not think that B-B-Club will run into legal problems any time soon. "The risk of getting caught is minimal when you copy furniture in Asia. But in Europe it is a different thing," says Tore Kristensen.
