HELP STOP DESIGN THEFT!
Hello ,
Did you know Australia is now the 'Wild West' of fake designer furniture & lighting?
While the UK, EU, USA and New Zealand work to actively stamp out design theft - we continue to fall further behind in the war against fake design.
The UK & EU have now crimimnalised 'replica' furniture - yet Australia's thirst for counterfeit design accellerates! We need your support to help us advocate for replica designs to be banned in Australia. > more
We thank our re-launch, members, partners and affiliates 🙏💫 - you have helped us create the ADA program. We now call for additional supporters to fund our activity moving forward.
