There's a neat little blog out there called We Love You So, which has a tie to the "Where The Wild Things Are" movie. Here's the blog "About" section:

The film represents years of work from hundreds of different artists, writers, photographers, musicians, actors, and creators of all degrees.

This place has been established to help shed some light on many of the small influences that converged to make this massive project a reality.

So you know we got excited when we saw the blog post this item about the Hotel Fox in Copenhagen.

The story behind Hotel Fox is that it was once an aging hotel that Volkswagen (yes, VW) decided to spruce up by hiring 21 artists, graphic designers, street artists, illustrators and the like to decorate the hotel's 61 rooms. Each artist was given license to create whatever they wanted in their own personal style.

We Love You So particularly liked the room titled "Sleep Seasons" by Australian design collective, Rinzen.

Hotel Fox in Denmark has decided to turn their in-room decor into one big hotel survey.  We must be extremely demented, because we think this is really cool.

Hotel Fox findings:

82% of all European hotel rooms feature a romantic landscape painting

Last year, 5 out of 10 people said that this bed was firm enough. 3 out of 10 said that the bed was too soft. The rest had absolutely no opinion.

77% of all hotel rooms in Denmark have white walls.

Kinda reminds us of the Van Halen's "Right Here, Right Now" music video.

Right now, if you click here and scroll down you will be instantly transported to 1992.
