Also, I believe you mean "good taste," as just plain old "taste" would not really work in the snide, patronizing tone you are attempting to acheive. Good luck with all your bandwagon jumping future endeavors and unearned superior attitude (now you see, that was how snide works...).

You ARE the only the only blogger who thinks Josef Frank's fabric designs featured at Anthropologie are yuck. The man is a genius. I encourage you research this brilliant artist. It's called taste.

I think that a LOT of what Anthropologie puts out will only look good in their store or on a waifish 16 yr. old but I still love to ogle it. I just referenced these couches on my blog in terms of them MAYBE not having a lot of longevity. Love the colors though! LOL!

It's the brown Josef Frank anthropologie sofa that really kills me, and then I feel like I have no taste because everyone else is raving about it! The drinking game aspect was kind of a joke because the first one of these I printed was around St. Patrick's Day. Just as you'd drink every time Brenda was a bitch or Dylan was moody on Beverly Hills 90210, you'd drink every time you saw one of the items in a magazine or in a design blog.

A bit over the top shall we say? I'm new to this blog, and was just wondering...how does the Drinking Game come into play here? Thanks, Brenda Becky,

You are spot-on with the chair. A bit over the top shall we say?

I’m new to this blog, and was just wondering…how does the Drinking Game come into play here?

Thanks,

I love Josef Frank prints too, and I am a Marimekko fanatic - I have literally a closet and a dresser full of fabric full of bright, Isola-designed 'mekko, I just need to learn how to sew :) . there is just something about these sofas that does not work for me, and I felt like the only person in the design blog world who was not loving them. I am actually in love with that chair and would have bought it if not for the hefty price tag - it simply inspired me to find a similar fabric for some of my vintage chairs that have bad upholstry jobs at the moment. I also appreciate your comment about the dark and gloomy winter vs. the bright fabrics - it's nice to hear that perspective about how Scandanavian design turned out so beautiful - I had not thought of that, though I did have a friend who did a year in Finland and just about died of depression when it was pitch black outside at 3 p.m. every day (not so different than New England - I always felt like I needed one of those anti-depressive miner's hats like they have in Alaska to keep my sanity during the dark, short days of winter!). Thanks for chiming in! Becky Hi Kristiina! first, don’t apologize!

They are definitely not for everyone and to decorate with them you really need to know what you are doing. Growing up in Scandinavia these crazy and bold patterns were the antidepressant against dark and gloomy winter we had to put up. I am sick of those mid century modern pieces and those 13 in dozen modern chrome leg sofas and wooden block leg dining tables. And talking about fad, glass mosaic tiles and square white sinks in bathroom. Sorry, I love the Josef Frank prints and the Marimekko patterns.

I think they're hoping you'll buy excessive amounts of their pasty floral dresses and cover the print when you sit down. I am with you on the Anthropologie sofas.
