Target vs designers
Target seems to be trying very hard to get sued. It happened before when they introduced a chinese knock-off of the Emeco Navy chair, which I had the "pleasure" to inspect first hand. Crap, painted to simulate the satin finish in the aluminum, bad welds, pitting and a manufacturer error that causes all the chairs to lean to the left. Emeco sued and they added an additional slab at the back and they are now able to keep selling them. Now they aimed at the Nelson wall clock, even having a reference to George Nelson on the product description.... and it's even overpriced too! $79 for a chinese knock-off? that clock is not even woth $5.99! You decide.

See you at the ICFF?
Hi Dan!
A fact is a fact. Love your product and such a unique design and icon needs to be protected.
Thanks for bringing such a great product.
I will add one of the 1006 Navy Chairs to my collection soon and will make a review online for all to see.
Unfortunately, i won't be able to make it to ICFF this year... ; (
Thanks again!

The problem is not really Target copying. The question is: why do people buy crap just to save 40 bucks??? If people didn't buy them, Target would stop copying and selling them.
Um, emeco didn't invent or originally design those chairs. They've been on navy ships for a very long time.
Emeco knocks off the navy
Target knocks off Emeco.
I don't get why your panties are in a bunch over this one...perhaps you should be indignant for the navy? But not for Emeco.
emeco did the chairs for the navy.
and, I was in the navy for what is worth.
