Scandinavian Mid-Century Modern

It catches your eye

A design you haven’t seen before

Unique, seductive, wry

You desire it

To add to your collection

It gives you a lift


You share it with friends

Admire and cherish it

Display it proudly


You caress it ever so gently

With admiration

You clean it, make it shine

It makes you smile


But as time passes

It starts to lose its appeal

The glimmer you once saw in it loses its luster


You place it on your shelf

With the rest of your collection

It becomes dusty, and unadmired


It sits among other pieces

Once loved and cherished

Still owned but neglected


You take it down once in a while

Gaze at it, dust it off

Reminded of its beauty


But you wonder what you saw in it to begin with

You never promised to keep it

It’s not as great as you once thought


You consider getting rid of it

You search for a replacement

Something new you haven’t seen before
