Cappellini Branch Table by Jakob Wagner copy of E-volved table?

01 mayo 2012

Respected designer Jakob Wagner allegedly copies the design of the E-volved Table by Timothy Schreiber for his own Branch Table by Italian design company Cappellini.

Olivier Oliemans from FueraDentro: "Embarrasing to see a respected designer and a respected company copying Timothy Schreiber's design for the E-volved Table. The E-volved Table has won the Red Dot Design Award in 2007, everyone knows the design. I can't believe they think they can get away with this."

Below are pictures from both designs. Judge for yourself:

UPDATE

The striking resemblance between Jacob Wagner's Branch table and the E-volved table are an example and displayed at Déjà-vu: an exhibition about design affiliations. "Have our attitudes to concepts like copy-paste, originality and innovation fundamentally changed lately?" this exhibition would like to open the debate. Read more
