“A committee is a cul-de-sac down which ideas are lured and then quietly strangled.” Sir Barnett Cocks

Turns out even our closest friends can send us shrieking into the night when their furniture selections fly in the face of the principles we espouse.  Where does the inclination to make these purchased come from? In what magazine do pictures appear; seducing the stylistically lethargic into purchases which can only be attributed to a collective stranglehold on good taste?  I was rattled recently when, upon entering a friend’s home, I was confronted with a bulking, hulking, puffy mess-of-a-sofa.

“I hate puffy upholstery.”

What twisted mind conceived these grotesque exaggerations? And what devious soul has blinded great swaths of the general public as to accelerate their sales and perpetuate their existence? As a culture we collectively giggle, if not scoff decidedly, at puffy exaggerations; lips, breasts and haute couture.  Is it too late to include upholstery on this list of puffy scorn?
