We help seating the United Nations Climate Conference

Dec 7 – Dec 18 2009 the leaders of the world meet at COP15 United Nations Climate Conference in Copenhagen. For that occasion the art craftman Tyge Axel Holm has been working for 2 years on a round table, diameter 5,5 m, with 25 chairs which, Friday the 4th December, were set up in the Bella Center in Copehagen.

The table will be the center of the last 4 days of the conference, as the top politicians are expected to meet around the table, for the concluding negotiations.

Recommended by Bruun Rasmussen, we were entrusted with the great responsibility, to transport the table and chairs from Tyge Axel Holm's workshop on Bornholm, to the Bella Center in Copenhagen, where it is placed on a platform at the entrance.

The table was transported in several parts. The table top itself is made of 30 parts, which each were wrapped in blankets. The underframe was also packed in many parts and each chair was wrapped in blankets and placed individually in a carton. The transport from Bornholm was made with a separate truck.

When the conference is concluded we will pick up the table and chairs again and bring it to the next destination.
