I don't think so. A Fritz Hansen employee wouldn't participate in this, as the purchase of the chairs would raise demand. As for your pride, if you buy the egg from Voga in wool I think it'd be very difficult to tell the difference as the wool hides the stiching slightly. I think it's really difficult to own a replica egg if you're a Dane. They may be modern but some, including me, still consider them national treasures. Replicating a national treasure is, technically, treason.
