It's a tough one. I'm typing this sitting in an Eames knock-off (though the Italian factory claims they have the license since they used to do the European manufacturing)

Yeah for sure... and if you reallllly wanted to be boring you could start on about how the knock off eames stuff is prob closer to its original intent (mass produced for the masses) than the vitra version, but that would be a yawn a rama.
All my furniture is originally actually, including eames in the garden. #freelancedays

I think the new UK copyright law would trump any licensing agreement. Knock offs will need to make obvious changes to existing designs to circumvent the 2016 law change... those changes are likely to compromise the integrity of the design/object.

So options are...
