Recently, some netizens dug out a set of designs, but the entire shape is exactly the same as the century-old Chinese bamboo chair, except that the material of the lower part of the chair was replaced.

After seeing this, netizens asked directly: Isn’t this the same? It’s a complete copy!

It turns out that the author of this work is the artist Joseph Dejardin, who clearly stated that this set of designs is a redesign of the century-old Chinese bamboo chair, and he believes that such a deformation is more suitable for use in modern homes. This shows that he consciously referred to traditional designs during the creative process and made innovations in materials and other possible aspects on this basis.

Netizens are arguing over whether this is plagiarism or reference!

From the perspective of design creation, whether this behavior constitutes plagiarism is not a simple question of right or wrong. The boundary between "reference" and "plagiarism" in the design field is often blurred, especially in the integration and innovation of cultural elements and traditional design styles.

What do you think of this group of works by Joseph Dejardin?
