A reproduction is a full-scale replica of an existing product. We manufacture top quality reproductions of all well known furniture designers of the past decades. We make a great deal out of using high quality materials for the detailed reproduction of the furniture. Compared to the prices of the original products, you can save up to 87 %.
A much more interesting question is; why are the originals so expensive! One of the reasons why the originals are so expensive are because of the fact that the manufactures have to pay a license fee to the designers, so that they can sell it as an original. Furthermore the process from factory to consumer is extremely long. In general, after the production the products go to an importer, then to a middleman, then to a regional distributor and at the end of the process is goes to a retail store where is can be sold. Since every company would like to earn money in this long chain process, it is not surprising that the price of the goods have to be multiplied many times before it reaches the customer. For us it is different: All the INFURN furnitures are shipped directly from the manufacturer to the customer. All the middlemen have been cut away. The advantage is therefore that the price is cheap but the quality is still very high.
Most products are unique and custom made for youHowever, this service takes some time. In general, we can deliver the desired product within 10-18 weeks. If this is too long, then you can take a look in our category “products in stock”. Here you will find a large range of furnitures which are already made and ready to be shipped out to you. The general delivery time for these items are 10-14 days.
The pieces of furniture and accessories that are not in stock are made individually for you. This offers you the great advantage of creating your own dream product. The delivery time in this case is about 10-18 weeks. Products which are in stock can be sent within 10-14 days.
Can there occur delays of the delivery
Yes, in rare cases there can occur delays. Since there is a guarantee for 5 years, our quality control is very strict. We make a great deal out of delivering you a perfect product and this can take a long time. If the reproduction is denied in the quality control we have to tell our suppliers to make a new copy. This is the reason for most delays, since the production time takes up to 5-7 weeks.

The relationship of furniture design, terms such as "original" and "reproduction" are often used. But what does it really mean, and what is the difference between the two terms? We will explain:
Many furniture designs were designed in the 50"s and 60"s. In that period, the designers did not have their own factories, so they were forced to ask help from large furniture manufactures. Therefore they were also forced to give the licensing rights of their pieces to the manufactures. Over the years it developed into a thriving business for the furniture manufactures. They were allowed to sell their productions officially as originals and created a monopoly.
Even today these manufacturers produce the furniture in the designers name and sell it as an "original product". The prices for these pieces of furniture are very high. For an original chair you would have to pay the same amount as a small car would cost. But the price has no longer anything to do with the quality of the product. High license fees and high costs of marketing play a crucial role in these inflated prices.
Furniture fanatics are therefore trying to look for a legal and cheaper alternative. This is the reason why we reproduce these quality reproductions of the famous designer furniture that cannot be distinguished from the original at first sight. What is the advantage? You can save up to 87 % compared to the “original” product.
How is this possible, given the different jurisdictions within the EU? While in some countries, such as Germany and Denmark, the license and copyright of the design is protected for a long time, but in England it is different where you can obtain the design of a product after 25 years after the launch of its industrial production is concerned. Because of this, we can offer you high quality reproductions of famous designer furniture, in our online shop. You can easily order and we will deliver the products to your home.
Currently INFURN delivers its good to the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Kroatioen, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Slovakia, Slovenia , Spain.
On request, we are also able to deliver our goods into other countries which are not listed in the list above. In this case, please contact our customer support team.
