apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

that's some friday night you're having over at AT !

How bad is it? Let me count the ways...

not hot. but a bit kitsch and can look good in certain decors. but by itself, no it is not hot

It cant be that hot, I see its been left outside on the porch.

This is one of those items that get the mind working. Someone not only had to design such blight but also went through a great deal of trouble to have it manufactured. Bad taste is truly timeless. Perhaps this would work in a brothel? No, it's not hot.

Is this the wesbite that had the "I've Got Color" contest? And there will be NO love for this wild thing? I am NOT wishing this couch were mine, but I can imagine it being in kind of a kicky, fun place as a VERY counter-intuitive chunk of color. I mean ... couches are usually such safe colors (with good reason), but it's kind of refreshing to imagine a really bold choice.

yeah baby, get on board the horrible and wild charm
at least it's not beat to heck

Mid-century trailer trash!!!

(Hasn't Elvis left the building???)

Makes the OTHER $500 hot or not couch look like a real bargain. And the most beautiful couch ever made.

In comparison. :)

Once again Curtis shines as a true visionary, Yeah, I have love for that wild thing. Just the thing to balance out my pig painting y'all didin't like either, And I don't live in a trailer, anymore. However, I'd never pay $500, but if it fell off a truck on my dirtroad.....

I agree with you Curtis. It would be great for the right environment and it's in good condition.

Amen, Curtis.

Though it'd never let it cross my transom, I can imagine someone, somewhere using this couch to bring a little purebread American mongrel music into their home.

In the right room (which would have to be designed and implemented perfectly) this couch could be very cool.

Its HOT! the shape is awesome... the fabric is a little crazy but could look great in someone's place.

I don't really get a rockabilly read on this couch. I'd peg it "vintage brothel".

The shape is nifty, but my eyeballs are screaming in retinal pain...

Well, I think it's clear that whoever selected the upholstery DID at least pay attention to the angles of the shoulders of the sofa so that they relate to the angles of the pinched-oval cartouches in the pattern of the upholstery. You gotta hand THAT to them. AND... it really looks like it's not in bad shape. It looks like kind of a luscious version of an acrylic thing, kind of like what they call a "mink blanket" that you buy in Chinatown.

Those things are so soft it's not funny, even though a million little acrylics and/or polyesters gave their lives (as opposed to minks) for them.

It still makes me want to break out into song: the chorus of "Lady Marmalade"; but not in a good way.

I agree with "me".

i've sat on this couch. It's so hot i 'd by it an put it on my porch!It's just a couch. Take it or leave it

not your average couch and I looooove it-I'd love to meet the chick (doubtful it's a guy) who owns it, sure she's fun and funky not like most of you who sound like safe, beige couch lovers-yuck!

Is that a leopard print chair next to it? The split pea porch doesn't do the couch justice.

Me lovey dis couch.
