When making a chair to represent a college, university, or any organization or business entity, we need their permission to use their trademarks or protected images. Typically, large and medium-size academic institutions require licensing protocols. These schools maintain careful control of their trademarks and, often, they seek royalty revenue. There are approximately 2,400 four-year colleges and universities in the United States, and we are unable to become licensed with all of them – it’s expensive and it requires very burdensome administration and reporting. Therefore, when a customer requests a chair for a certain school, we simply contact the school, request permission, and request the art for the official seal or logo.
We can probably gain permission to make your chair, but we need to contact your favorite college or university and request that permission. Sometimes that process is speedy; sometimes, it takes some time. Just ask us to build your college chairs, and we will expedite the process to gain permission and begin building your chairs.
