white sofa

I still think this looked quite extraordinary: pure white sofa, dark stones. Litter or art?

bentwood chair

I liked this chair. But I already have one bentwood rocking chair I picked up in the street, and I left this one be. I hope someone gave it a good home.

the stripy sofa

What can I say? It’s a stripy sofa. I saw it on the street. Look how the stripes match the tiny reddish chips embedded in the grey smoothness of the pavement. Soft furnishings, hard street. Art? Litter? Who can say?

chair in the river

I don’t really know what to say about this sequence of posts. I just keep noticing furniture in the street, that’s all. I could try to say something clever and political about our consumerist society and the politics of waste, or something clever and artistic about how soft furnishings contrast with concrete and stone. But mostly, I just want to share with you these pictures of chairs and sofas, left in the street. Or, in this particular instance, the river.
