Hi-
I am interested in making a few (up to 25) dollhouse sized miniature chairs that are based on 1950s modernist designer chairs. I will sell them in a local gallery/shop. Mine are not exact copies, but "spoofs".
I see that there are a nunber of dollhouse miniature websites that make named designer minis. See:
http://www.the-doll-house-cafe.com/dollhouse-design-furniture.html
But then there's THIS site (VITRA) that makes a point that at leasst some of their miniatures are licensed:

But I wonder how concerned I should be about copyright infringement since my minis would be spoofs??

Shouldn't be an issue
If you clearly describe what the products are.

miniatures
Thanks,
the spoof aspect probably nixes any trademark/copyright concerns I might have.
But I wondered how one dollhouse miniature maker has obviously unlicensed minis while another makes a point that they sell licensed minis?
I am trying to find out if there has ever been a lawsuit involving miniatures of famous furniture designs?
