How to spot a fake Componibili So how do the replicas stack up? Although imitations are widely available they’re only marginally cheaper than the genuine article. FINISH Comparing the two, we noticed a big difference in form and function. The colour and finish of the real Componibili is superior, well-balanced and warm off-white compared with the stark white replica, which looked quite harsh and sterile. DOORS Functionally the real unit’s sliding doors were smooth and easy to open while the replica required some extra persuasion - we had to use two hands! COLOUR Today authentic Componibili storage units are produced by Kartell in white, black, red and silver. However, Kartell Italy have released a special edition dark teal unit. The limited edition Pantone 303c Componibili is only available within the Australian market and is set to become a collectors item.
