Quote of Note | Peter Shire

“I keep thinking about sofas. They’re weird, right? You can get into a sociological conversation about the value of furniture and the way it has evolved over the last 500 years. Once, nobody had furniture unless they were wealthy. Castles had thrones, and the rank and file sat on benches. It was a social signifier. Now you see sofas thrown out on the street. In ceramics, we have kiln furniture to set your ware; in printing, they have furniture that holds the type into a matrix.
