Dirty Furniture ISSUE 3/6 – TOILET

Dirty Furniture is the independent design magazine that uncovers the relationship between people and the things they live with. Conceived as a finite printed series of six and showcasing design’s best writers and emerging talents, each issue takes a piece of furniture as its theme and uses it as a springboard to explore topics spanning politics, design, history, technology, psychology, manufacturing, art – and the plain weird. In the third issue of 'Dirty Furniture
' on the theme of the toilet, we wonder why poo-bum jokes are funny, lament the loss of the public loo, and stand for girls who stand. Sanitation in India is investigated, toilet paper unrolled, nappies reconsidered, and we interview a farmer and a toilet attendant. With Alex Schweder on pissing, Natalie D Kane on nappies, Alice Twemlow on graphic design, plus shitting monarchs, Superflex, and the poo emoji.   Summer 2016 152 p, ills colour & bw, 17 x 23 cm, pb, English
