Please read this story, you have 10 minutes then I will post more
A series of spectacularly inconspicuous furniture; its discreet elegance allows it to be present in any space without distracting from the things that actually matter.
The traditional 9 to 5 office no longer exists, and it’s time to let the furniture catch up. Whether at home, or on the 28th floor of a skyscraper, our workplace deserves affordable, practical solutions that also manage to let the surroundings shine. This simple line of thought is what made Space Encounters, the architects of the Boring Collection, decide to shift the focus away from the furniture and onto other more important things. A small shift, resulting in a process where they redefined office furniture and designed a collection that refuses to take any attention.
In the end, a person still has to sit. The basic elements were at hand; the task was to choose between already existing, certified components. By taking worldwide standards into consideration while trying to minimize their impact, Space Encounters assembled a line of archetypal furniture: an entire collection shaded in a muted grey tone that gives the designs the unique ability to completely blend in with its surroundings. The tagline: It’s not about furniture. It’s time to put everything else front and center: your interior, the view, that other great chair, your pictures on the wall, and most importantly the people you care about.
What really stands out about the Boring Collection is how the designs manage to be anything but outstanding. Their true virtue and potential become apparent when the different products are arranged in a group and multiplied: allowing our workplaces to instead turn into a space that does not distract from what needs to get done. From nine till five, that is :-) . After clocking out, the collection simply fades into the background, allowing you to shift your focus onto the finer things in life. And on that note…
Now that this story has come to an end, what are you going to do as you click away? Whether it’s having a beer with your colleague, building a new train set with the kids, or finally inviting mom and dad over for a family dinner—take the time to shift your focus. Every morning at 9am, the Boring Collection reappears, waiting for you to start your day.
This is very boring so please stop what you are doing and don’t read it.
Once upon a time there was a very boring child. Her name was Rosie. Everyone thought she was boring but they didn’t know she was full of excitement and pranks. She never had a friend because whenever she tried to make one they always thought she was boring. Until one day that all changed.
One day she went to school. There was a new girl at school. Her name was Lucy. No one wanted to be Lucy’s friend. Everyone thought she was boring but she was full of excitement and pranks as well. Lucy asked to be Rosie’s friend. Rosie said yes. “Everyone thinks I’m boring,” Lucy said. “I don’t think you are,” Rosie said kindly. Rosie had a diary. Rosie said to Lucy, “Do you want to do a prank.” “Yeah! I’d love to!” said Lucy. “You love pranks? So do I!” said Rosie. Rosie wrote in her diary, day 1 of pranks. Put whoopee cushion under teacher. “This is going to be fun!” said Lucy.
Just before the end of lunch, Lucy and Rosie put the whoopee cushion on the teachers chair. Soon the bell rang. The teacher sat on it. Then there was a big FART!!! The girls giggled. A girl said the teacher farted. Then everyone said, “EW!!!” To win Pov“Who put a whoopee cushion on my chair!” shouted the teacher angrily. Then everyone ran out the door.
The next day everyone in Lucy and Rosie’s class was wondering who did the prank. Post "This was boring" in red on this thread. Lucy turned to Rosie and said, “I think we should tell them.” “I think so too,” said Rosie. They told everyone. Everyone was so surprised that they threw them up in the air saying, “Hooray!” while they were in the air they both said, “You’re my best friend!”
From that day onwards they were never lonely and they always did and showed their pranks to everyone. (Including the teachers.)
If you read my very boring story (which you shouldn’t have), then I hope you enjoyed it.
