Stuff White People Like: Modern Furniture

I thought this was a pretty funny post on modern furniture collectors on Stuff White People Like:

 

" When white people envision their dream home, a key part of the fantasy involves a least one piece of furniture designed by a famous architect from the 1930s."

 

"

If they are able to acquire this prized furniture, they will forever refer to it only by the designers name. “I spend hours in the van der Rohe, just looking through these beautiful books of his work.”

Referring to a white person’s expensive chair as a ‘chair’ is considered poor form and will likely result in a loss of trust and/or respect."
