The Book Of Plastic
In the beginning, the Earth was a giant patio devoid of durable, stylish outdoor furniture (and cable, but you know) that could withstand the elements; sunlight, heat, rain, wind and snow and tie a valley or a beach together just right.
People saw this void, and were moved to create; and so there came the Age of Stone.
And it was hard and cold, and the people did say, ‘Cripes, it doesn’t half make your arse numb.’
Many such years passed, and yah though the stone was tough, it was tougher still on the cheeks, and the people did long for a gentler way to take a load off after a hard day of running down saber tooth moose and cave painting..
So began the Silk Age, the age of pillow and cushion, and yah they were soft, though they could not endure the wind and rain and frigid snow that filled them like a kitchen sponge; and they did butt soak many.*
(*this briefly led to the so called ‘Diaperloon Age,’ but this is largely ignored by history)
Thus came forth the Iron Age, and it was flexible and strong, and its fine mesh webbing required no cushion, though this too was rigid and impersonal, and the people did long for a new medium to satisfy their outdoor patio needs (I mean is it TOO much to ask?).
And lo, as if in answer to a prayer, did come the Plastic Age, the age of resin and injection molding and polyurethane in wonderful, magical shapes and colors, rugged, durable and artistically designed; tables, chairs, lounges all, a new world of outdoor comfort and style, mass produced and affordably priced.
And the people did say, ‘Does it come with a loveseat?’
And yah, so it did. The Plastic Age brought forth all manner of shape and contour, dimension and style, and the people did recognize its resilience and beauty and did buy recliners and tables and lounges and chairs of all scope of fashion and design.
Yah and this plastic patio furniture did endure the elements and all the forces of the Earth and did enhance their patio environments forever more.
And it was good.
