FIGHTING COPIES

How can I tell the difference between a genuine Fritz Hansen design and a counterfeit?

In spite of our imitators’ efforts, fakes are easy to spot. Inferior quality and slapdash design give them away. The creative and financial investment that goes into a genuine Fritz Hansen means our products have no equal in terms of quality, durability and design. 

Help us fight fakes. Email us at counterfeit@fritzhansen.com if you’ve spotted a counterfeit Fritz Hansen product.

OUR NETWORK IS OUR GUARANTEE
Only our network of authorized and skilled dealers can guarantee our products’ authenticity and offer the best design and after-sales service. Anyone selling our products outside this network has no connection with Fritz Hansen.

LABEL OF ORIGIN
We actively investigate counterfeiting operations and take legal action wherever possible to halt production and destroy any counterfeits already produced.

All our upholstered furniture produced since 2006 bears a Republic of Fritz Hansen tag as a sign of authenticity. Products produced before 2010 have a red tag while products produced today come with a brown tag. The tag also shows the year of manufacture, to help establish the value of each item in the future. The leather and fabric in our upholstered furniture is sourced from the very best suppliers and the sewing is undertaken by skilled craftsmen. Our commitment to quality shines through in every authentic Fritz Hansen piece.



It is important for Fritz Hansen to communicate and show the world that we will not tolerate those who infringe our design rights. Furthermore, it is important for us to demonstrate our passion to those who respect design heritage, live and support our brand. In this respect we can now offer a new measure of precaution which means that a new "invisible" thread has been introduced into our red labels that can be identified only by a special pen which Fritz Hansen holds. In the light hereof, we can always distinguish between an original and a copy.
