The PK sofa...
?.in a previous thread would certainly do well as yet another example of disfigured icon. It raises the interesting question of what constitutes the quality of the original. I am sure we all know that the Eames' would not have reached the recognition they so well deserve with this version of the 'Lachaise' chair. But the story-line would have been the same:-the use of innovative materials-the inspiration by the Lachaise sculpture in the MoMA etc. etc. So what makes it outstanding is not the general shape, the choice of materials etc. but the proportions, the details the balance between the base and the shell. The same could be said about the PK sofa. The general shape is the same, the construction and materials are similar. Again, the difference is in the details. It seems to me that there is a lesson there for the many aspiring designers that seem to rely only on the basic idea or the concept, rarely on the refinement of the execution-which, by the way requires much more time and hard labour to achieve.
