Living Room

“Tables and chairs, beds, mirrors, a clock to remind the happy couple of the passage of time, an armchair for an hour’s pleasant daydreaming, carpets…pictures on the wall, glasses for everyday and others for wine and festive occasions…Are we to hang our hearts on such little things? Yes, and without hesitation.” Sigmund Freud, in a letter to his future wife, Martha, when they were still engaged.
