less is a bore
the swedish design team, jantze brogård asshoff has been working their ...magic, helping ikea embrace chintz and curvilinear design by introducing a few key pieces to the otherwise, modern, mostly angular, collection.the interesting thing is that for years, ikea had an ad campaign chiding the english for their taste of mock-Edwardian reproduction furniture going so far as to call them, "life-hating snobs and neurotics, telling them to “stop being so English” and “chuck out the chintz.” i guess they decided change is good and less is a bore.
personally, i love the option. don't you think the collection has that brocade home feel ?

katie, I KNOW IT. can you believe they threw it in? I was on their site and noticed a message saying that they were trying to fill all orders but, {sic} don't hold your breathe.
and you know, PT&E, i'm all about more. i try to be spartan. but i like too much. i'm great at editing other people's homes...but come to my house and you'll see that i could heed a bit of the restraint!
