The reason so many of the new-type couches are so uncomfortable →

My fancy apartment building has the most uncomfortable couches throughout all the common areas. They look amazing, and that’s all they do — to sit in them is to not want to sit in them.

So, I was hoping this article would explain this phenomenon to me (the couches are like this in all the new buildings here in DC), but it’s really just talking about the cheap, Ikea-like couches. I’ve bought my fair share of those, and while not perfect, they’re still more comfortable than the designy ones here in the building.
