A RESPONSE TO "THE WORLD OF INTERIORS"

Think twice before you wreck your home. Is it the space inside you hate, or the fact that it has walls?

The walls are still white, but the room is coherently decorated and lit by sunlight instead of fluorescents. It complies with the unspoken but ubiquitous aesthetics of Instagram.

“Actually, this fascination with objects— yes—it certainly has its problems, and yes, we are obsessive and overhopeful when we care about design, but it’s critical to the way in which we manage to live in the world we live in.”

Rather than making me desire the credenza more, however, I’ve grown tired of it, suspicious of my own preferences.
