Kim Kardashian Sued Over ‘Knockoffs’ Of Artist’s Furniture

The foundation representing 20th Century artist Donald Judd is suing Kim Kardashian and her designers over a set of “knockoff” tables and chairs.

In a complaint filed in the Central District of California, the Judd Foundation says Kardashian falsely promoted the furniture and suggested a commercial association with Donald Judd in a video tour of her SKKN offices in August 2022.

“The tables and chairs shown in the Kardashian Video are not authentic Donald Judd pieces fabricated by Judd Foundation but were instead unauthorized knockoffs that were produced by Clements Design,” the complaint said.

When asked for comment, Kardashian’s spokesperson shared a statement from Clements Design, which said the Judd Foundation previously acknowledged “obvious key differences” in the designs and that they are now being “blindsided” by this lawsuit.

In the video, which has since been removed from Kardashian’s YouTube channel, the influencer-turned-entrepreneur guides viewers through her newly opened office space, pointing out various art and design highlights.

“If you guys are furniture people — because I’ve really gotten into furniture lately — these Donald Judd tables are really amazing and totally blend in with the seats,” she said.
