Kim Kardashian sued by Donald Judd Foundation over her ‘knockoff’ furniture

It also states that Kardashian fans and art aficionados alike “would expect Ms. Kardashian to own and display authentic — not fake — Donald Judd furniture and to have the real and true — not false — endorsements of celebrities, designers or artists with whom Ms. Kardashian discusses working or mentions by name.”

In a statement, Clements Design tells Page Six Style the foundation’s claims “have absolutely no merit.”

“This issue was brought to our attention over a year ago. We communicated with the Judd Foundation’s counsel and explained to them in no uncertain terms that there were obvious key differences between the tables and chairs in Kim’s office and the Judd Foundation’s tables and chairs,” the firm says.

“The fact of the matter is that Clements Design sold Ms. Kardashian fake copies of the Donald Judd La Mansana Table and Donald Judd Chair 84, using Judd Foundation’s copyrighted photo to do so. Ms. Kardashian then promoted the furniture as being ‘Donald Judd’ to millions of her social media followers.”

The foundation claims that Clements Design “refused to take any steps to resolve this matter,” so it “reluctantly resorted to litigation in order to protect its intellectual property rights and the significance of Donald Judd’s timeless designs.”
