What is a replica?

In furniture, a replica is an exact rendering of a design piece, by a manufacturer different than the original. This reproduction has to meet the original standards of the first design, not only in its aesthetics but in its functionality. 

So, its important how careful is the manufacturer with the selection of materials and its process of assembling and quality ends. A Barcelona Chair Replica, to be considered like that, must look as the original, but not only look, but it has to feel the same and has a quality standard to last for years, just like the original piece. 

But if a replica is almost an exact copy of the original piece, what’s the difference between a replica and an original? what’s the buzz about?
Price, of course. Replicas manufacturers don’t pay for original license or brand copyrights for the exclusive use of the brand, logo, and other marketing tools. That allows them to present a pretty decent product for a broader public (without infringing any owner’s right).
