Here's a glamor shot to brighten up your Thursday. This gorgeous photograph comes from Ludd who collects samples of upholstery swatches from public transports all around the world. Neat, but is it art?

Public transport upholstery -- like a motel comforter -- is designed to please the eye and hide pesky stains. (Gross.) That idea sounds like one created by an engineer which is probably why the patterns come out looking like Jackson Pollock rejects. Have a gander at the collection, and marvel at the horror.
