The Fly Collection designed by Space Copenhagen for &Tradition has been on our radar for a while now, so when we came across the Kalmar armchair, ottoman, and sofa at Anthropologie, we couldn’t help but notice the strikingly similar design (and dissimilar price tags). Anthropologie’s furniture was sourced from designers District Eight in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and made with canvas cushions. Here’s our high/low comparison.
High
Above: The Fly Chair SC1 by Space Copenhagen has a base and slatted back made of oak (treated with white-pigmented oil, shown, or smoked oil) and loose cushions; £1,987 ($2,813) at Haus. For more, see the Fly Collection at Space Copenhagen. Above: The Fly Pouf SC9 is £1,137 ($1,609) at Haus. Above: The Fly Sofa SC3 has an extended oak base for a built-in table. It’s £3,668 ($5,192) at Haus.
Low
Above: The Kalmar Armchair is made with smoked oak, steel, and waxed cotton canvas; $1,598 at Anthropologie. District Eight makes the Distrikt Armchair with different wood and upholstery options. Above: The Kalmar Ottoman, like the other pieces, is anchored by blackened steel legs with brass details; $998 at Anthropologie. The District Eight original version is the Distrikt Ottoman. Above: The Kalmar Sofa is made of smoked oak, ash, and steel and has waxed cotton canvas cushions; $2,498 at Anthropologie. The District Eight original is the Distrikt Chaise.
