Everyone knows the eggs in MacDonalds aren't real.

thanks for the article...
as for everyone knowing they're not real...i didnt even know they had them in there!!! you would have thought McD's would be able to afford the real thing....

Nicola, you seem to mention...
Nicola, you seem to mention Mojo interiors on every thread you post on. You are either a delighted customer, been given a large pay cheque or something more sinister!

haha dont be so cynical!
It's the only company i have used as i am fairly new to a)having th cash to splash on fab furniture and b)to have any opinion about....I am checking out others too though so will definitely give those a mention once opinion is formed....dont know about you but i have found this site very useful for info purposes and dont see any harm in spreading the word...

Nicola, it was tongue in...
Nicola, it was tongue in cheek! Glad your enjoying the site it is a very useful learning tool.

Yep the site is certainly addictive!
And actually you've made a very valid point Nick....i might try to get a free Swan chair out of them!! that's the next purchase im researching...

I remember............
I remember reading about this recently. From what I recall, Fritz Hansen and McDonalds struck a deal to supply furniture, including the Egg chair. It transpired that Fritz Hansen got wind of them installing counterfeit versions in some of their restaurants and promptly stopped delivery of all furniture to the group as FH will not tollerate reproduction of their furniture in any way shape or form. The cost to them is millions in lost revenue, but hey, what price authenticity? You can read it in the telegraph here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2007/10/09/cnmcd1...

It's interesting to see....
how things can turn around....many decades ago Fritz Hansen was taken to court for copying the Marcel Breuer chairs.

Mc.Donalds
As I had understood it, Mc.Donalds was trying to reinvent their image as a high(er) scale dining experience. To me this seems as effective as the time they tried to reinvent themselves as 'healthy' by offering salads. Personally I'm glad Fritz pulled out of the deal when the clown went fake - it would only have brought down the brand identity of Fritz Hansen products.
Nicola, you should save your ca$h and get the real thing - you'll love it 100 times more - and the investment will pay off in the long run . I poked around Mojo's website and sure enough - at least 4 instances of photos stolen from the websites of various dealers of authentic pieces. Shameless.

Will they rename is
the Egg McChair?

it gets worse
as if the fritz hansen controversy weren't bad enough, reliable sources have indicated -- and recent photographs now confirm -- that mcdonalds is now installing egg mcmuffin tables in those locations affected by legal action. [photo here from actual court document.]

Hilarious
KDC...that made me laugh out loud....genius!!!
LuciferSum - i will start saving now then!!
