Jonathan Adler's Superb Manifesto

1. We believe that colors can't clash;

2. We believe that when it comes to decorating, the wife is always right (unless the husband is gay);

3. We believe in mixing periods: Saarinen chairs in a French chateau, Chinoiserie in a futuristic pod;

4. We believe in carbohydrates and to hell with the puffy consequences;

5. We believe in the innate chicness of red with brown;

6. We believe celebrities should pay full price;

8. We believe minimalism is a bummer;

9. We believe our designs are award-winning even though they've never actually won any;

10. We believe that happiness is chic.
