The credit says: “Fluorescent multi-colouered bangles, chunky rings, court shoes in fiery ‘Kandinsky’ colours all by Dirk Marwig for Marc Jacobs”. Sorry for the poor quality of the photo but this is the only reference I have.

I say: The good artist “copies”(imitates), the great artist “steals”(is inspired by) but the ‘Timeless Artist’ is the one who is copied and who inspires. I’m writing this because to my annoyance my Dark Prince Chair was imitated. Poorly …and no credit given, of course. DARK PRINCE CHAIR (Dirk Marwig, 2009) -This chair was designed,constructed and finished by me (Dirk Marwig) in West Vancouver, Canada 2009. Dimensions: Total height: 100 cm , Seat height: 45 cm Width: 44.5 cm Total depth: 61 cm , Seat depth: 43 cm Construction: Recycled solid Walnut and Cherry wooden floor boards(1 inch thick),wooden dowels and biscuits, wood glue(no screws or nails) Color: Natural light walnut and reddish cherry Finish: Hand rubbed Danish oil.

The only wooden chair in the WORLD with this DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION (according to thorough research) -signed and dated,with the title(engraved) on the base (bottom) of chair.
