Reality TV star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian is facing a lawsuit from the Donald Judd Foundation. The lawsuit claims Kardashian falsely attributed replica furniture in her SKKN by Kim office to the late minimalist artist Donald Judd.

A YouTube Video at the Center of the Dispute

In a 2022 YouTube video showcasing her SKKN headquarters, Kardashian points out tables and chairs, calling them “Donald Judd tables.” The Judd Foundation, dedicated to preserving Judd’s legacy, argues these are imitations and not authentic Judd designs.

Lawsuit Targets Kardashian and Design Firm

The lawsuit names both Kardashian and Clements Design, the firm responsible for the furniture, for trademark infringement, false advertising, and unfair competition. The Judd Foundation seeks the video’s removal, destruction of the furniture, and a public correction from Kardashian.
