Look, this has nothing to do with your "weird" taste.
The other day was my friend Moni's birthday, the woman many describe as "the first person who got me to actually enjoy exercise"... In one of our random conversations I heard her say she wanted something to decorate her bedroom (or maybe I made that up). Either way, I ended up giving her a table runner for her birthday, to hang above her headboard. This was probably entirely my own invention, because it's not like she ever said that exact thing. But that's how relationships work: basically an endless game of broken telephone.
To skip the long version: two years later, Moni sends me a photo of an empty wall with a box drawn on it, showing me exactly where she'd decided it should go: a space no taller than the average person. In other words, a vertical space.
I, remembering that piece was horizontal, carefully asked if that was right. She replied: "yes, art is art, and it looks beautiful, no need to crane your neck to see it properly."
I pushed back. I told her the runner she had was horizontal, that it wasn't going to look the way she pictured.
She sent it back. I sent her a vertical one. She hung it and it looked beautiful.
Sometimes you don't need to convince anyone of anything. You just need the right piece for the right space.
At Lanna-Ha, you´ll find table runner in both formats: horizontal and vertical. Same Otomí embroidery, same handmade work, different way to dress your wall.
If you have an empty space and don't know what to do with it, here's your answer.
