Darkened Rooms, their couches

(Top, Center, Bottom)

It's nice on these hot days, to have all these promotional images of dark rooms, to keep our brains cool. The couch becomes the main signifier. We're going to start a collection of these, send in your own finds. Which will you choose? What does your couch say about you?

The design that inflects a character. Supposedly people booed the first big screen presence of Darth Vader, his mere appearance made his operatic badness understood. The clown is scary because his costume signals that he isn't structured, social codes are not his, the clown is above law. The cues that speak to the inhuman.

Art like pieces of display catalog, Ikea presentations of what your home could be, as images of potential, like all those pantone grids we all find so pleasant in organizing the full mess of choice into something pleasant, choosable.
