Like this?
If so apparently:
A lighting classic, the subtly charming Lampe de Marseille was originally designed by Le Corbusier for the Unité d’Habitation of Marseille in 1949, and has since solidified itself as an archetype of the lighting genre.
Personally I think +50yrs from the death of the person who designed it is plenty, and I'm not sure what value is added, or extra authenticity is gained by some other brand milking a dead guy's design.
But what I actually meant was have a look on aliexpress for another design you like and not necessarily a fake one.
Out of interest I had a look to find an original (well period one I guess?) and came across this.

Having a browse, all looks pretty hideous, or am I doing it wrong?
I would assume someone is paying a license or whatever to use the design as the IP will be owned and protected by the company it originated from regardless of creators condition. Plus I'd trust the quality more.

Nah... neither the Marseille nor the Flos are... don't want to buy faux products, IP theft isn't it.
