Backed by striking visuals and haunting sound design, this new spot for the Mississauga Furniture Bank forgoes actors and dialogue to tell a simple story — plenty of good furniture is thrown away. The organization and its agency, BBDO Toronto, drills that point home by playing with the idea of “homeless” furniture. The spot runs through a series of ominous shots that show discarded furniture set up around the city, driving home to its final sell: Give your used furniture to a home that needs it.
