About Work
[A Thumbs-up Sofa] is a piece of Tan’s A World of Temptations Series.
This is a sofa that gives a big “thumbs up,” viz., a great seat, as its title implies. It can’t help worrying that people don’t know how great it is, and therefore it recommends itself by claiming that “I’m a thumbs-up sofa.” The checkered floor serves as a foil to the space and depth of field, adding a fine touch of gorgeousness to this work.
