New copyright laws in the UK have come into effect, effectively banning replicas of some of the most-copied icons of 20th century furniture design ? including pieces by Arne Jacobsen, and Charles and Ray Eames (+ slideshow).

While the future of the laws may be uncertain following June's Brexit vote, for the time being UK copyright protections for industrial design have been extended. They've changed from 25 years after an item is first marketed to 70 years from the death of the creator.
