Dirty Furniture is the independent design magazine that uncovers the relationship between people and the things they live with. Conceived as a finite series of six, each issue takes a piece of furniture as its theme. Instead of dismissing furniture as a topic fit only for glossy lifestyle publications, Dirty Furniture uses it as a springboard to explore topics spanning politics, history, technology, psychology, manufacturing…and the plain weird.
In Dirty Furniture’s final issue, Bed, the covers are ripped off to reveal how the bed, sleep – or the lack of it – shapes our lives. The editors and authors sleep with sleep-monitoring devices, reflect on the beds they were born in and consider the screen’s capacity to alleviate insomnia. They wonder how the duvet became a wardrobe staple, talk to sheep and study the architecture of dreams.
