Summary:
"Green Velvet" by Krzysztof Pelc from 2019 is a short story about a multicultural family that discovers a green velvet sofa on the curb of their street and brings it home.
The father is initially hesitant but eventually takes a risk and decides to bring the sofa up to their third-storey apartment, despite its size and the difficulty of getting it up the narrow staircase and front door.
After several tries and calculations, they finally succeed in bringing the sofa inside by unscrewing its feet. However, it looks weirdly displaced beside their old-fashioned Iranian furniture.
Additionally, the grandmother points out the possibility of termites living in the sofa. In the end, the father throws it out once again and checks for potential termites.

Immigration is a complex process that involves not only the physical movement of people from one place to another, but also the blending and adaptation of foreign cultures.
As immigrants settle in a new country, they often face challenges in navigating through the unfamiliar cultural landscape.
Krzysztof Pelc's short story "Green Velvet," published in 2019, explores this through the lens of a family's experience with a discarded green velvet sofa.
The story highlights how their difficulties as a multicultural family with immigrant parents and their Western-raised children manifest in everyday life and decision-making.
