Much like the chair, the domestic dog’s integration into human habitats was grounded in utility. However, the continued growth of consumer culture has transformed the perception of “man’s best friend.” Where once they were a prized hunting partner and beloved house pet, today they are all-too-often seen as a shallow symbol of social status. The practice of dog grooming is an ongoing reflection of this transformation. First viewed through the lens of function, with short fur on the back facilitating easier swimming, and longer fur on the front better able to absorb and maintain heat, dog owners now prioritise form. In the pursuit of style, fur now conforms to fashion trends and defines breed standards, even at the expense of the dog’s quality of life. This evolution (or perhaps devolution) parallels the historical arc of furniture. Previously valued for their utility, chairs are now treated as social showcase and artistic vision, as collectors’ items and objects of interior decoration. The Furmidable Seat collection plays with the pageantry of the living room and the irony inherent in commodifying dogs and chairs. Balancing forms both grotesque and endearing, the collection is a caricature of superfluous objects inhabiting domestic landscapes. Each piece of furniture draws its inspiration, figuratively and literally, from the grooming archetypes specific to purebred dogs, like the poodle and terrier.
