This afternoon I wrote a second blog post all about some extortionately expensive “storage solutions” I recently saw in Habitat. It was quite long and (moderately) funny. It had pictures and links and everything. Actually it was one of the links which let me down. I t didn’t seem to be working and, in attempting to fix it, I managed to make the whole post disappear! Boo! Anyway, here is a distillation of my original post:
Habitat-1964-Terence Conran-affordable design-chicken brick-early childhood memory-Habitat bunk beds-shaky-mother muttering”cheap, shoddy rubbish-years later-incorrectly assembled by slightly tiddly father-miracle no-one killed-anyhoo-digression-Habitat-2007-photoframes-VIP (Very Important Product)-matryoshka-see boxes-like boxes-pretty boxes-designer-Marcel Wanders*-metaphor for maternity-want boxes-see price tag-bloody hell, how much-£190.00-empty boxes-gah!splutter!-is it me?
Phew!
* My original post was hilariously titled “Wanders will never cease”.
