Millions of people rely on the good sense and judgment of the style gurus at Ikea to bring just a touch of taste and class into their frankly dismal lives.
I honestly believe this.
Just one or 2 good pieces can really add something to a room, to someone life, it is a joy beyond the sum of its parts to contemplate something of fine design, it's the battle we fight everyday, the good fight against mediocrity, to bring forth essence and tone and value in line, color and placement - ours is the music of the curve, the rhythm and power of the straight, the right - the shaping of space and time and self itself - good design illuminates the life and world around it, provides an oasis of something calm and focussed, an eternal moment of truth in the arm of a vintage chair, or the leg of a table. I honestly believe Ikea brings this to people, millions of tiny pleasured moments around the world, at a low low price....so why...oh why, would some cunt start printing Verdana ? Have they ever ever printed a flight booking off a webpage, and thought 'fuck me, that looks really clumsy and unbalanced....being a designer, and having eyes and a brain, I can instantly see that this is a nasty nasty work shy shit of typeface that can only be seen in public very small'. Cause if they didn't, they need shooting, and if they did, they're just cunts.
