Has anybody noticed the similarity between summer flowers and café outdoor furniture? It rains most of spring, then the sun starts to win over more and more, and as if by magic - there are the flowers! And there are the pretty tables and chairs outside cafes, bars and restaurants. Each adorned with happy people enjoying the sunshine, sipping their drinks and nibbling their food. Just as decorative to the city streets as flowers in a garden in our eyes. Especially as peoples choice in colour and print on their clothing is much bolder in these warmer months.
As for the furniture itself, wrought iron or wicker are particular favourites. Put up like flower beds surrounding the buildings. I wonder if somebody planted them in winter? Just like the sound of busy bees in the garden, the hum of chatter and giggling is just as appealing when strolling past. I know it’s a big chain, but Café Rouge’s outdoor furniture is so pleasing, with it’s obviously Parisian - café culture themed aesthetics. It makes us want to sit and order a coffee and have a cigarette each time we walk past. And as a tea loving non-smokers this is quite a feat.
Maybe it is the individuals that decorate each chair that draws us in, we’re not sure. But after reading this we’re sure you’ll see what we’re babbling on about. Those sat alone particularly intrigue us, thinking and daydreaming to themselves. We are always on the look out for thoughts for our thought jam, but you have to be quick to catch them. They don’t often escape the persons mind but when they do, it’s a super quick shot for freedom. We’ve noticed that sometimes, those little thoughts wrap themselves up in steam from a hot drink or cigarette smoke in order to disguise themselves. Anyway, summer’s here so go and sit outside! Decorate the unattractive pavements with…yourself!
