Laurent and Torben are iconoclasts. In real life they are a steward and dance teacher but when they enter their little Danish Versailles, they become the lords the manor. Torben hails from Copenhagen and has collected old porcelain for many years. Laurent prefers to cook for their friends. The talent for entertaining guests is not universally available. When they have people to dinner, damask tablecloths and pedigreed decanters, butter dishes and crockery gleam softly in the candlelight. Their home is another world where the patterns on the fabrics are reminiscent of far-off places. There is a baroque feel, beautifully expressed by these uncompromising aesthetes.
