    Maybe the popularity of "vintage" is a backlash against Modernism. I'm a strict modernist from a philosophical standpoint but am beginning to question it.

    I thought the comment about Ikea was a ltitle harsh. Some of their goods are not as durable, unfortunately, but the idea is good. Being in my 40s I remember what cheap furniture looked like when I was younger. Ikea is miles beyond that.

    • I think Ikea accomplished what some of the great early modern designers tried to but were not successful at -- making attractive, affordable goods that could be easily manufacturedJosev
