Spank!: Fetish Furniture

This thesis focuses on creating and designing fetish furniture that can accommodate a couple’s alternative lifestyle.

A married couple have asked me to design them furniture that can be used for both every day occasions and for after hours play. Furniture that is functional, attractive, and can be transformed from day furniture to fetish furniture. Through art, film, and design, sex has always influenced us and will continue to do so. We need to be open-minded within our own sexual culture to help us better understand others’.
