This short book explores copying in design. Charles Eames' LCW chair, designed in 1950, epitomizes solving problems over creating art. The LCW, now $1,195 from Herman Miller, can be copied for $145 by Modway. This highlights the importance of copying in design. Steve Jobs echoed this sentiment, incorporating Xerox PARC's innovations into Apple's Macintosh. The book argues that copying, often seen as negative, is essential to design's evolution.
