I don't get the skull thing
Skull motifs, which had been as soon as the only province of biker bars and pirate costumes, have long past mainstream. Never thoughts that they have to have stayed inside the biker bars.
I can't open a catalog or a magazine without seeing them. It's one thing to see an Ofrenda on the Day of the Dead but the mainstreaming of skull decor has taken on an American-ized scrubbing and the result is a complete break with the actual significance of a skull.
They're a warning sometimes and historically, they were a kick-you-in-the teeth reminder of everyone's mortality.
The whole thing mystifies me. However, the French design studio Pool is going to release the following plastic chair at the Milan Furniture Fair this month.
At first, I chalked it up to a de-contextualized skull to be used by the unthinking around their barbecues but then I learned its name. The name of this chair isSouviens Toi Que Tu Vas Mourir.
Extra factors to whoever translates that name. I need one of these for the call by myself!
