lockheed lounge
Posted: Sun Sep 06, 2020 12:00 pm
Hi there,
I would like to make a replica of the Lockheed Lounge #10 ( A sculptural chaise lounge) originally designed by Mark Newson circa 1989 or there abouts. It would be very similar but not identical . It would not be stamped "Basecraft Sydney" as per the original or be portrayed as an original . It would not be stamped at all.
1) Is it illegal to reproduce a very similar looking piece and display it in a shop for no financial gain?
2) would it be illegal to sell?
3) There are a number of these that are owned by public art galleries around the world - does that mean that it falls into the "public domain"? and can therefore be reproduced?
I would really appreciate some input
All the best
