This of course is 1%er and 1% wanna-be BS. Modernist design (in this case furniture) was supposed to answer the needs of the people. most people can't afford knoll And HM anymore. The shaming tenor is especially egregious. This shit should be off patent by now so market competition would push options in quality and price on classic modern design. Notice you can't get a new fiberglass eames chair? They seem to be injection molded plastic. I pick up flea market originals and flea market copies and pay appropriately or skip it.

I didn't know that the new "Eames" chairs have fake shells. Too funny.

The injection molded polypropylene should cost a lot less to make now too. But they are still way up there, with no cost savings trickle down to the consumer. Fucked. Also: they pitch polypropylene as a recyclable material. Like you would recycle a design classic rather than repair it!

not furnishing a public school or bus stop near you.

Btw, I'm not against licensed originals. Just that alternative options need not be vilified by the big boys. Pretending to be the victim is self serving defensive posturing and not good for the consumer. Trying to come off as pro young designer is also bs and condescending.
