This street sofa is from Troutman Street in Bushwick and it comes via the busy camera of our Greenpoint Correspondent, who titled it a “Fubar Couch.” Indeed, it is monstrously fucked up beyond all hope. Miss Heather, who has photographed many street couches, offers a bit of analysis as well:

Each neighborhood I visit has its own “type” of street couch. Bed-Stuy’s are the most stylish, Williamsburg lists between circa 1970-80 hand-me-downs and modernist chic. When it comes to royally fucked up couches, however, Greenpoint holds the title. But Bushwick is a close second.

Street Couchology–or shall we say Sofalogy–is born.
