Words

There are things out there that you need, and there are things out there that you want; some of them are reasonable, others are not. This 1970s coat stand by the Swedish designer Bruno Mathsson, isn't something I need, and it's hardly a reasonable purchase (it's also not one I can actually make), but that does not make it any less desirable, nor any more rational a desire.
