Confabulations

Baffling, isn’t it? You spend your life assuming that bars, hotels and even hospitals just buy their furniture from MFI like you or I (not any more, obviously). It turns out that they actually buy their stuff from specialist manufacturers who build furniture that stands up to far more wear and tear than your tidy L-shaped settee at home. So, for example, a chair in a hospital might need to be cleaned hourly and survive enormous traffic volumes as patients come and go and have to sit down/up and generally mess around.

Food for thought!
