'Skjernpigen' is the result of a jubilee competition published by Skjern Bank to mark the bank's 75th anniversary in 1981. However, the unveiling of the statue was delayed until the city center was renovated.

At the unveiling, the director of the New Carlsberg Foundation, Hans Edvard Nørregaard-Nielsen, stated that the character "must symbolize a person who is ready to get something out of life, a life of prosperity - the character has to make us want to see that." joy in accepting who we are. I am allowed to wear the figure with health ".

"Nicole with the chair" is actually the real name of the character, according to artist Hanne Varming. She talked about Nicole, the salsa girl who she met at a party and who has since modeled for the artist on several occasions.

“There were all these young girls dancing around to salsa and stuff. And suddenly one of them screams: Nicole – come and dance – you're the only one who can do it right – and that's exactly what she was," said Hanne Varming about her first meeting with Nicole.

The inspiration for the sculpture came quickly: “One day, when I was about to make this figure, Nicole came into my studio and stood next to the chair. And chair and model simply fit together. That amazed me and still does. "And I hope you will be just as amazed," said the artist in his brief acceptance speech.

After the unveiling, the character has arguably become one of Skjern's most photographed 'girls': this is where tourists pose for photos in Skjern town.
