Thanks Binz

I like how they are decorated and they look so comfortable.

By all accounts and the photos that I have had a chance to see it appears to have been a very sucessful trip for.

Wish they'd stop beating that horse. Sure the "Egg" chair is beautiful etc. but there is so much out there - also from Danish designers.

However, Fritz Hansen only have two or three chairs (all Arne Jacobsen) that are interesting, so they think that by draping them in any kind of fur etc. must make them all the more interesting.

Fail!

I just saw this article

Frederik fik renset ørerne

is the bust of Frederik or PW lund?

it does look a lot like Frederik

Of Frederik.

Modelled from how he looked when he was to embark on Sirius 2000, hence the beard.
It was originally placed in a park in Brasilia, but vanished. It was later found in a lake and has now been restored - including having the ears cleaned as Frederik jokingly pointed out.

Frederik obviously isn't used to seeing busts of himself, I guess he isn't sufferering from this syndrome:
(I've been longing to use that smiley!)

thanks Muhler.
I'd say the artist did a very good job.
Frederik is too humble to get used to seeing busts or paintings of himself.
