Looking at a new catalog from Restoration Hardware, it is evident to me that the thoughts and intents of our beloved William Morris are surfacing at hand once again. No wonder either. In this day, when hand-held devices are the most essential wardrobe item, we have become very much estranged from the past, from handicraft, and anything that isn't digital.
Although, I do not necessarily appreciate tan neutrals throughout the home as Restoration Hardware is now advertising... I can appreciate the fact that they have taken notice that humans cannot ever do without real, true inter-personal relationships. So, RH has made an attempt to design our homes to reference a past that was built on human relations so that we can *feel* better.
What is the name of the Revolution that we are *fighting* against like that of the Industrial Revolution in Morris' era?
