Decorated Builds, Brand Boundaries, and Creative Freedom: The Debate Around Erfe Design’s Clarification
Erfe Design issued its statement after noticing that some of its furniture products were being included in pre-made houses or skyboxes that were then marketed as complete, ready-to-purchase items—often described as “decorated skyboxes for sale.” According to the company, such listings can unintentionally create the impression that the furniture itself is being sold or authored by the seller, rather than being licensed content created by independent designers. Erfe Design emphasized that its concern is not financial, nor related to sales competition, but rooted in brand positioning, transparency, and how licensed content is represented to customers. You can find a screernshot of the clarification below:
The company was careful to clarify what it is not objecting to. Paid decorating services, custom interior design work, and assisting clients in furnishing their own homes using licensed products were explicitly described as acceptable and respected practices. Erfe Design acknowledged the creativity and labor involved in professional decorating and stressed that decorators themselves are not the issue.
Instead, Erfe Design sought to draw a line between service-based interior decorating and the resale or packaging of pre-furnished builds presented as standalone commercial products. As a possible path forward, the company suggested that shared community guidelines could help reduce confusion—such as clearer wording in listings, including creator credits, and language that distinguishes decorating labor from furniture authorship. The statement concluded with an invitation for respectful dialogue and an openness to discussing best practices.
However, many decorators and builders feel that the clarification overlooks how Second Life has functioned for years. In practice, selling a pre-furnished skybox or home has long been understood as selling the design, layout, and overall experience—not the individual furniture items within it. Just as in real-world interior design or staged real estate, buyers generally understand that furnishings come from multiple designers and are not being resold as standalone products.
Critics argue that drawing a sharp distinction between decorating services and pre-furnished builds feels artificial. Both involve the same creative process; the difference lies only in delivery—custom commission versus ready-made product. From this perspective, singling out pre-furnished builds risks devaluing a legitimate form of creative work that has existed within Second Life for years.
There is also concern that calls for “shared guidelines,” while framed as collaborative, may place disproportionate pressure on smaller creators. When a well-known brand publicly questions how others present their work, decorators may feel compelled to change practices even when they are operating fully within platform permissions and existing license terms.
At its core, the debate reflects a tension between brand protection and creative freedom. Erfe Design’s desire for clarity and accurate representation is understandable, but many creators worry that redefining expectations around long-accepted practices could lead to confusion, gatekeeping, or unnecessary division. For them, the strength of Second Life’s economy lies in remixing culture, trust in licensing systems, and the freedom to combine creations into something new.
As the conversation continues, both sides appear to agree on at least one point: clear communication matters. Whether that clarity comes through updated licenses, optional attribution tools, or private dialogue rather than public statements remains an open question. What is clear is that this discussion has tapped into deeper questions about ownership, authorship, and collaboration in virtual worlds—questions that will likely shape how creators and brands coexist in Second Life moving forward.

Ah yes, Autumn. The season of transition; crispy leaves beneath your feet, warm drinks and pumpkins everywhere. Here are the most wicked, unusual and chic trends of Second Life in the fall of 2025.
THE POPULAR GIRL’S STRECHY GUM:
September is the beginning of classes (at least in the West). This means new sneakers out of the box, notebooks that have never been written in and fresh pressed clothing for your first day of class. That first week of classes in September bled into November and that presents us with the lasting trend of what I call “The Popular Girl’s Stretchy Gum”.
The Stretchy Gum is created by the store Mud and is formally part of the Gatcha collection called: “The School Whore Gum”.
The gum comes in 3 flavors: #3 Berry, #4 Grape and #5 Mint. The animation makes your finger look like it is twirling the gum, a fun way to make your avatar have a more carefree and rebellious youthful attitude. The Mud store actually paired the gum with outfits that match the “Popular Girl in Highschool” archetype, which fits perfectly with the gum as an accessory to the main character vibe!
I have been seeing this cute stretchy gum all over Second Life and Mint is my favorite flavor! CHIC READING GLASSES:
In the fashion world the chic-eccentric academic look has been huge in 2025.
The fashion house Miu Miu, a label synonymous with what I can only describe as the “chic mad scientist” aesthetic has, over the past three years, perfected a distinctive balance between intellect and irreverence. The brand has presented preppy staples through bold-colored polos,
layered shorts atop thick-waisted boxer briefs, and timeless classics like sleek dress shoes, sharply tailored pencil skirts, and most notably oblong and rectangular shaped reading glasses.
The “chic-mad scientist look” overall has made its way to Secondlife and specifically the chic rectangular or oblong frames have been spotted everywhere. The pair of glasses that stood out to me particularly was "CIUCIU" Office Frames by the Store CUPID. The glasses have been often spotted in-world, they bring an effortless chic to any outfit and blend seamlessly with nearly every aesthetic.
TROLL MONSTER OF THE YEAR: THE LABUBU !!!
From Chic to unusual, we now step in the pop culture craze of the Labubu.
The first time I truly noticed the rise of the Labubu, I was wandering through department stores, and a fashionable girl had one clipped to her high-end handbag. Soon after, I started spotting them everywhere: kids at the park had them dangling from their backpacks, guys had them clipped to the loopholes of their jeans, and my YouTube feed began filling with Labubu collection videos. Labubu was like a drug, and the only way to get your fix was to order the next rare Labubu and add it to your collection. The Labubu was the next Stanley Cup!
Let me explain the Stanley Cup…
In 2023, a girl’s car burst into flames. After the fire was put out, her entire car interior was damaged and littered in ash, but remarkably still intact was the Stanley Cup. When the girl pried it from the melted cupholder, shockingly, there was still ice preserved in the cup. The video went viral with over 1 million views, and overnight, the Stanley Cup became known as "invincible”.
The craze began, people were lining up in front of Target and Starbucks for hours before opening, and fighting in Stores to get their hands on the latest limited edition of the Stanley. Much like the Stanley Cup, the Labubu has become a viral status symbol and must-have collectible.
Labubu wasn't always a doll…
Originally, Labubu was created by a Hong Kong artist named Kasing Lung, as a character in a series of illustrated stories called “The Monsters”. The Labubu in the series is the star and is described as playful and mischievous. Lung, based out of Hong Kong, partially grew up in the Netherlands, where he was influenced by the region's Nordic fairytales and folklore.
In 2015 “The Monsters” were brought to life as collectible art toys. The Labubu’s ugly-cute appearance stood out from the rest of the typical cutesy toys.The Labubu is sold in various colors and sizes and allows fans to customize their Labubu to reflect their personality and style.
The Labubu primarily soared in popularity across Southeast Asia when Lisa, a member of the famous K-pop girl group BLACKPINK, was spotted with a Labubu and that’s what triggered worldwide popularity.
Like anything spotlight, there is usually a controversy surrounding it…
In the case of the Labubu there has been speculation that it is actually a cuter version of the demon Pazuzu, a Demon of the Wind.
Some owners of the Labubu doll have reported that when they received the doll they experienced paranormal activity. The doll's eyes glow red and following them move across the room, the creepy smile stretching wider, finding unexplainable small scratch marks on their body or the doll vanishing and reappearing around their house. There is concern that the potentially demonic toy’s target audience are children who can be easily influenced by demonic entities.
The media has picked up on the Labubu Controversy. In the latest season of South Park, The Labubu craze sweeps through the school, and the children use the Labubu doll for a Satanic Ritual. (Episode 4, Season 27) And if you believe the “Simpsons Predict Everything” Conspiracy Theory; in the Halloween Special "Treehouse of Horror XXVIII," Maggie gets possessed by Pazuzu, the same demon linked to Labubu.
So what of the Labubu in Second Life?
Whether you believe Labubus to be just a popular toy or an entity that causes demonic chaos, Labubus has inspired Spin-off versions all over Second Life in every form. A phenomenon that can not be ignored!
