Dirty Furniture Magazine

Dirty Furniture is a new independent biannual design magazine that uncovers the relationship between people and the things they live with. The magazine’s goal is to take a lateral approach to writing about design; we are as interested in what happens after an item leaves the showroom as in that which saw it arrive there. Dirty Furniture is conceived as a finite series of six, each taking a piece of furniture as its theme. Instead of dismissing furniture as a topic fit only for glossy lifestyle publications, Dirty Furniture instead uses it as a springboard to explore topics spanning politics, history, technology, psychology, manufacturing…and the plain weird.

Dirty Furniture Issue 6/6 (Bed) is here. In Dirty Furniture’s final issue, Bed, we rip off the covers to reveal how the bed, sleep – or the lack of it – shapes our lives. We sleep with sleep-monitoring devices, reflect on the beds we were born in and consider the screen’s capacity to alleviate insomnia. We wonder how the duvet became a wardrobe staple, talk to sheep and study the architecture of dreams.
