Missoni for Roche Bobois

I'm still here, and still defying the internet gods by refusing to call Comcast ($42.99 a month just for internet? Seriously???). Of course, this does tend to create giant knots in my regular schedule. I miss waking up in the morning and pulling my computer towards me in a groggy haze, slowly waking myself up by checking out the blogosphere and typing up a post or two of my own. It has, however, left me a lot of free time to do a lot of useful things like reading and studying - finals week begins on Monday. I'll admit I've been doing more reading than studying. Anyways, I do have a few minutes of internet time so I thought I'd shoot off a little post.

Looking through the FT's always sumptuous weekend magazine, How to Spend It, I came across an ad for Roche Bobois. They had a cold and imposing storefront in the little Chicago suburb where I grew up. Everything seemed very sleek and modern, black leather and chrome. I remember, when I was very young, walking past there on the way to the bakery for a smiley-face cookie. I don't think it's there anymore, but this ad caught my eye, as it seems they are doing a collaboration with Missoni.



I noticed the gorgeous colors and patterns first, before I realized it was Roche Bobois. It seems very different from my early memories - warm, inviting, and totally fun! Don't you just want to fling yourself down onto one of those couches?
