A Nice Padded Room

by Bonnie

I’ve always been obsessed with rubber — my earliest memories include hoarding Pink Pearl erasers and hard-rubber Snoopy Joe Cool figurines — so you can imagine how the recent boon in rubbery design has delighted/enraged me. My fantasy of rubber floors could be made reality in this very apartment. That deep pink is just one of eighty colors available in perfectly smooth, (and they say) non-smelly rubber flooring that comes in rolls and tiles.

Recently felt has overtaken a growing share of the weird-cute design market. I know they would get so dusty, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting adhesive felt wall stickers from Hive. I see what this adds up to, the sort of room that some people struggle very hard to avoid. So qui-et though. And that rubber floor, say in white, would go so well with my dream bathtub.
