Be ready for anything with Fear Furniture
Resilience, that buzzword for being ready for anything, was described by one wag as "sustainability with guns", on the assumption that if you have the food and the water to survive a crisis, somebody is going to try and take it from you. Today, instead of Fear Furniture, Steven M. Johnson of Patent Depending might call this a Resilient Recliner or Sustainable Sofa and accentuate the positive. We're not afraid, we're prepared!
