Does Furniture Colour Separate Us From Companies?

So I was in the reception of a client of ours yesterday when I saw their sofa.

Now you might not think there is anything really worth noting about it other than the horrible colour – but to me that is the point.

If you were in a shop looking for a new couch for home, would you really choose one that is in pink … or salmon … or whatever arty-farty designers call colours these days?

Probably not, and yet this sofa did not look out of place in their reception … and not because their reception is some garish ugly thing  … infact it is fresh, clean and bright.

However this got me thinking, if companies have furniture in colours that we would NEVER [or are very unlikely to] have at home … are they subliminally demonstrating their desire to be ‘different’ from their consumers, despite all the claims of their fawning adveritising?

This could be – and probably is – total bollocks so if it is, here’s a photo of the ‘Fat Mona Lisa’ we have hanging in our lounge. [Most normal people wouldn’t buy that either]

Hang on .. hang on … if I follow my ‘theory’, then that last comment demonstrates my subliminal desire to be isolated from society! Bollocks! What a crap post.

Talking of crap, read another waste of your time by going here … and lets hope normal service [if ‘normal’ exists] resumes tomorrow! Ta-ra.
