Dirty Furniture Issue 5/6 (Phone)

Dirty Furniture Issue 5/6 (Phone) is available now on loremnotipsum.com. In Dirty Furniture’s fifth issue, we explore how we use the phone – and how it uses us. Boasting an exciting re-design by Studio Mathias Clottu, the new-look Dirty Furniture combines the joy of a glossy with the practicality of a book. Inside, we propose multiple ways of thinking about the phone – how we use it, and how it uses us.

On 5G, the dominatrix reclaiming the internet, scams, phreaking, Skypagers and Sir Mix-a-Lot, hi from the undersea cable network, my iPhone’s sexy AF, the GPS of monarch butterflies, fro-bulous emoji, Antonio Meucci, calling the dead, a phone shaped like a strawberry… and if you retweet this we’ll give you $ 10,000.

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 will instead use it as a springboard to explore topics spanning politics, history, technology, psychology, manufacturing and the plain weird.
