But that's just me. Besides DWR is just mass, boring AND expensive. I’ll invest much cash in some fabulous danish modern gems and opt for the less expensive west elm lighting alternative.

On the one hand, it's nice to see good design brought to the masses, but on the other hand, it must be maddening for the original manufacturers/designers. Here's an interesting link: a site devoted to tracking big box knockoffs: http://knockoffs.olya.org. It is a vexing issue.

Why does'nt this happen more often? Why do the desingers that they knock off not protest publicly? What they do is so obvious to anyone with an interest in design and an awareness of the market. I must admit though to my love/hate relationship with West Elm. Sometimes it provides that quick fix for something stylish and affordable for my home that I can not resist. I am guilty of shopping there. On the other hand, if they were to knock off my work or the work of anyone I personally know I would be crazy with anger and shout out about it. I would be really interested to hear what the people who work for West Elm have to say about what they do. I LOVE that you call West Elm out on their knock offs! Why does’nt this happen more often?
