Royal visit

Den 20 mars 2013 besökte kung Carl XVI Gustaf och drottning Silvia Bruno Mathsson Center i Värnamo. Efter det att Konungen och Drottningen anlänt och hälsats välkomna förevisades Bruno Mathssons alster och historik. Kungaparet, som själva hade valt ut detta resmål, tycktes uppskatta förevisningen mycket.

This was followed by a sitting where the royal couple were offered hot water and a kind of candy called polka-pigs. This very odd menu was served together with the background story: When Bruno Mathsson arrived at the office in the morning, water would be heated in a coffee pot, after a while he lifted the lid of the coffee pot to smell if the water was hot enough. When the water was hot enough, it was served together with a polka-pig that melted in the mouth.
