Egg armchairs and Swan chairs designed by the Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen, brown and beige colours with occasional splashes of white…. This could be a designer hotel, or a hip restaurant. But guess what? This is a McDonald’s branch! To be precise, it is the McDonald’s on Edgware Road in London, where the company is testing a new design formula that, if it works, could be rolled out across Europe.

Unfortunatly, McDonald’s, who are very protective of their name, have purchased a number of pirated Arne Jacobsen chairs. As a result, Fritz Hansen has ended their cooperation with McDonald’s.
