It seems like everyone has an opinion on knock-offs these days, and personally, I always sympathize with the original designer. In my own home, we save up for the licensed versions of whatever piece we love, but I do realize that many people just can’t afford to do so and will sacrifice provenance and, at times, quality for a similar look. Which brings us to the matter at hand: Konstantin Grcic’s<\/a> Stool One<\/a> vs. the Kaysa Bar Stool<\/a>.
\n
\nSince they look fairly identical, I won’t do the ‘which-one-is-more-expensive’ game, I’ll just cut to the chase. The Stool One<\/a> costs $798.00 (+free shipping) for two stools, while the Kaysa Bar Stool<\/a> costs $226.99 for two. Grcic’s version is the original design, of course, and the Kaysa is the knockoff. The massive price difference makes me a little sick, as it probably does Grcic<\/a> and everyone else at Magis<\/a>. <\/p>\n
