The reality is that companies like Knoll have bought the rights to the designs and sell the pieces for a fortune. I think you can find knock-offs that meet or exceed the quality of the original - without needing a trust-fund.

The Knoll day bed costs around €10k but you will keep it for ever. The difference between the Mies van der Rohe daybed and the Hugo rip off is the quality.

Apparently that is enough variation to avoid conflict with the patent. Not a bad compromise for $1,000 - and I doubt most people would even notice.
