This is a classic icon of Danish modern furniture design; make sure to purchase the original edition made by Fritz Hansen in Denmark. You wouldn't want to be see walking around with a fake Louis Vuitton bag either; buying furniture is exactly the same. At the end; it's all about self-respect; save up some money & get an original icon that will keep its value. The original Egg and Swan by Fritz Hansen are sold in the US through modern design purveyor stardust.com
