Urban Foundry


There is a lounge in Boston, Massachusetts called the Middlesex. It became popular in 2005/2006 and nouveau business types only recently divorced from their art school pretenses spent Friday and Saturday evenings there, dressed in severe Boston clothing, chatting each other up across gray padded benches that could be steered around by coaster. Furniture sold at Urban Foundry would fit well in this lounge. It would do well, in fact, in many parts of Boston and New York, where the winter drives some residents to seek severe environments. While several of the designs seem too close to minimalist IKEA, others strike me as interesting. I’m posting those. Many of the designs require environmental upkeep. They won’t look good in a house unless the owner is meticulous. Clorox should sponsor them.
