"Sorry, its such a style over substance collection. "

Exactly how profound can a sofa be expected to be?

Its a recuperation device. To sit on. Hopefully purchased by someone who appreciates it.

What aspect of it would make the user more likely to tire of it, and dispense with it, than any other sofa?

There are enough designers creating studied modesty.

Some people think this looks good – thats not a crime. And as someone says – its optimistic. Design is not really meant to make you suffer, or force you into a state of repentance.

This range is shallow and short lived. Just like most fashion. Broom talks, and acts, and designs like a fashion designer because he is one. This range is shallow and short lived.

Just like most fashion.

I do however have to agree a little with peter about the substance. Lee, what materials did you use? did you consider their life cycles and whether they can be recycled and not just "downcycled"? Apart from that great job... look forward to seeing more of your work. Style and vision and optimism is what allows others to be optimistic and inspired…. well done Lee i think you have talent.
