Why bother doing original designs when you can simply rip off what everyone else is doing?

I came across yet another desk which is a copy of the William Sonoma Home desk and the Ethan Allen desk I mentioned in an earlier post - shockingly the copier this time is Ralph Lauren Home.

I was reading a very clever post on AT about a Ralph Lauren Tumbler set when I decided to look at the Ralph Lauren Home site. I looked at the new collections and my eyes bugged out when I saw this desk.

Don’t these companies hire huge expensive design teams to create original work?

I did love this desk on RLH’s site, the Collection Desk (yes, that is the name) looks like a remnant from a by-gone era. I like the lines, the shape, and the various shades of wood.

The only thing I don’t get is how they can justify over 16k USD for this desk.
