70s inspired conversation pit in the sims 2 - I don’t know why, but I’m so proud of myself for this one :D

1960s conversation pit at the home of Finnish-American architect, Eero Saarinen.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In 1963, Time magazine published an article titled, "Fall of the Pit," in which it declared that the heyday was already over and listed the faults and awkward perils of the conversation pit:⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ "At cocktail parties, late-staying guests tended to fall in. Those in the pit found themselves bombarded with bits of hors d'oeuvres from up above, looked out on a field of trouser cuffs, ankles and shoes. Ladies shied away from the edges, fearing up-skirt exposure. Bars or fencing of sorts had to be constructed to keep dogs and children from daily concussions."⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Time magazine also suggested that the owners of conversation pits should simply fill them with concrete and lay floorboards on top so that “no one will ever know what once lay beneath.”⁣ ⁣ #conversationpit⁣ #interiordesign https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzt0Millv-S/?igshid=19rhidwzjk751
