I have both clones and originals and enjoy both, but I will say that I handle/use the originals differently and have much more “pleasure” in using them because of the knowledge of their originality. As if somehow, my experience is (closest) what the designers intended even as the copies are well executed - sort of artist proof versus print, maybe? A bit nonsensical, yes. But as Chris Bangle once said (to the effect): “At the end of the day, when you’re driving on the road, nobody cares what kind of car you’re in but yourself.”
…and I have found an original Herman Miller on the side of the road.
