WARNING About Unauthorized Copies and Misrepresentation
Please be aware that, for the past several years, a number of Chinese and Asian companies (european as well) have been using unauthorized copies of my public space designs to market products worldwide. In many cases, they have not only copied the designs themselves but have also stolen my images, altering, repackaging, and rebranding them using AI-generated content.
Many of these companies do not actually manufacture or stock the products they advertise. Instead, they use misleading marketing practices to attract unsuspecting customers, often relying on bait-and-switch tactics or other deceptive sales practices. In many cases, the products delivered are of significantly lower quality than advertised ...or no product is delivered at all.
If you encounter products that appear identical or substantially similar from any other source, they are unauthorized knockoffs and are not associated with me or the authorized manufacturers. Their quality, materials, performance, and safety cannot be verified and are not endorsed by me (basically it's junk!).
The example below illustrates how these knockoff products are commonly promoted on LinkedIn and other platforms and websites.
Thank you for your attention and for supporting original design and authorized manufacturing.
