I mean sure. I used to own a couple of chairs that looked cool and sleek but only the cats enjoyed sitting in them. But the article starts bad-mouthing minimalism hard. I wonder if the author ever bothered asking anyone why they like having less stuff? I personally thing it is a yo-yo effect from the previous generation having too much stuff. My Dad considered cable TV to be 100% necessary and there was always at least 1 TV on in the house at all times. I've never paid for cable TV. The TV I do have is not in any of the main living spaces, and it is off 95% of the day. Heck I primarily use it to pump audiobooks through from my phone.
