Like many others I felt [modernism] had both
strayed from its idealistic origins and become
codified, strict, puritanical and dogmatic
Besides, as lovely as it is, postmodern furniture is
cruelly uncomfortable. If postmodernism meant
anything is allowed, then I was all for it. Finally!
The buildings often didn't get much more beautiful
or the furniture more comfortable, but at least we
weren't handed a rulebook.
~ David Byrne
