You know you’ve been an interiors editor too long when even the most innocuous things start to resemble home decor. In painted street crossings, I see sleek floating shelves. In clothing hangers? A triangular-backed postmodern chair. So when I spotted the aerial shots of the Glastonbury Festival near Somerset, I didn’t see tents. I saw patterns. The best rug patterns.
To accommodate over 200,000 festival-goers, Glastonbury uses a color-coded tent system that denotes size, cost (some run up to £28,999), and location, forming an impressively psychedelic infrastructure of colorful canopies. The way each zigzag fits neatly into the next — both hypnotic and hyper-organized — is a Virgo placement’s fever dream.
