The food will probably be the same, but this McDonald's in London is full of Danish architect Arne Jacobsen's designs. They're testing out this new design formula. What do you think? Via ModMom.

Unfortunately, McDonald's can't tell the difference between the real thing and (illegal!) copies, so Fritz Hansen (the Danish company who manufactures the chairs) have stopped the collaboration with McDonald's.

I just read about this issue earlier in the week. When I was in UK last year, I say a pair of egg chairs through the McD's window and just assumed they were fake, the rest of the decor was still plastic and such. I should have taken a better look had I known.
