Hommage à Bern

Posted in Spotted with tags on June 19, 2008 by traveller

What could be a better proof of good interior decoration taste than a sofa with the melodic name “Bern”? Bern, a small but powerful city in Switzerland known for its covered arcades, cobbled streets and decorated facades. Furthermore, Cathedral, Clock Tower, Bear Pits, Houses of Parliament and more than 100 fountains make Bern a perfect place to live.

The chesterfield can’t substitute a trip to the Swiss Federal City – but if you choose your “Bern” sofa in a brown leather, you will get a fabulous piece of furniture whose colour is very alike the colour of fur of Berns heraldic animal.

Ahaaa. Even though this undraped statement may surprise at first glance, it is according to various encyclopedias doubtlessly true:

Food is any substance, usually composed primarily of carbohydrates, fats, water and/or proteins, that can be eaten or drunk by an animal for nutrition or pleasure. It can be derived from plants, animals or other categories such as fungus or fermented products like alcohol.

With nothing but three words, the advertisement on the sandwich board faces the requirements of good marketing communication

  • Attract attention
  • Stimulate interest
  • Create a desire
  • Bring about action

Beer is food. As simple as that!
