Decor: A Whole New World of Organic...
0 Comments Published by *ms.b on Saturday, April 1, 2006 at 7:28 AM.
People are always looking for different ways to improve their quality of life, and are becoming more inspired by their grocery shopping. Or at least that is what we are seeing living in an integrated world where one aspect of your life translates into another. If chocolate comes in organic, why not your paint?
Anna Sova has developed a new blend of organic paints, and I am left wondering is there really a market for it? The new trend of organic luxury is a term that seems mutually exclusive, but poses the question do rich people secretly want to live the lives of the bohemians. Are they secretly wishing to trade in their 1000 thread count sheets for refined burlap? Organic lifestyle companies boasts about a life away from the harsh dyes that took the textile industry centuries to refine, in return for food grade dyes that you can essentially eat, except most three course meals do not include your bed sheets. In addition to their surprisingly colorful array of bedding, and soft goods, Anna Sova has also included a line of the "healthiest paints you can buy." One can only imagine the essential oils your body can absorb by licking your walls.
The aesthetic value you gain in exchange for a brush with altruism is a bit lack luster. The paints, though vibrant, are only available in rustic, matte finishes. Essential oils can be added to the mixture, but the scent is noticeable only in small spaces, like closets, or dressing rooms, and only last for six months to a year. This attribute is only good if you want change the colors or scents every year. There are many details that though seem like great add-ons to a product line, when combined, seem to not serve any purpose, accept for an interesting conversational piece. However, it does ask the question “what is the intrinsic value of organic, and does it translate into more than just food?”
