Santa struts his stuff in the modelling world

Human Christmas puddings were the flavour of December, when exhibition designer Paul Kestenbaum slipped into something rotundly comfortable to discuss a concept model for a future project.

His bearded mentor is Tom Fawdry, director at International Exhibition Design Services, based in Surrey.

“We thought it might give us a bit of excitement, so we got them from the local hire shop,” says Fawdry. “It was just a mad ten minutes, that’s all,” he adds defensively. But he won’t reveal why he’s dressed as a green Santa.
