Award: "Polygon" armchair

Prostoria has registered design protection in many countries for the award-winning "Polygon" (= polygon) product line. The imitator copied the design and product name and distributed the plagiarized product via its website and social media. His business principle: "We strive to perfectly reproduce iconic designs, manufacture them to the same standards as the originals and make them affordable for everyone". The cheap materials, poor workmanship (glued, mismatched screws) and lack of comfort disprove this. Following a warning, a cease-and-desist letter was signed and the sale of Polygon was stopped.
