We are super proud of our client and fellow protector of creative talent, Terri Winter – Founder and CEO of Top3 by Design. Terri continues to actively champion the support of original design in Australia. Blogger Sarah Winter captured the essence of Terri’s passionate point of view in her recent blog post written after attending Terri’s Design Masterclass in Canberra during December:
Avoid replicas
Terri expressed her unhappiness and disappointment at Australians’ love and embracement of the replica, which sees many designers out of pocket and many council tips filled to the brim with poor quality furniture that just wasn’t built to last. She told the crowd how this practice is illegal in most countries but not in Australia. This means that designers suffer from commercial stores having access to their designs and copying them with poor materials. So think about the designer next time you’re shopping.
