I’m sure you realize that there are trademarks, patents and copyright type laws that would indeed prevent you from making and selling exact copies of Idea furniture.

Actually what I am not allowed to copy is the IP that goes into your chair.
Nothing in
physical property law prevents me from copying your actual physical chair.
So if we agree to treat IP the same as PP then it should be ok to copy your IP just like it is ok to copy your PP right?

As someone else mentioned, dead people don't create.
And how is using the Harry Potter character in a brand new story not creating?
