Human furniture

Human furniture is a form of bondage and sexual objectification in which a person's body is incorporated into a tray, foot stool, chair, table, cabinet or other pieces of furniture. The term forniphilia, coined by Jeff Gord, is also used for human furniture.[1][2]

The person used as human furniture may be kept nude or semi-nude to add to the erotic and aesthetic appeal. Allen Jones' sculptures 'Hatstand, Table and Chair', made in 1969, which show semi-naked women in the roles of furniture, is a classic example of the depiction of forniphilia as art.[3] Forniphilia is an extreme form of bondage because the subject is usually tightly bound and expected to stay immobile for a prolonged period.[4] They are often gagged (see forniphilic gag) and/or placed in position where there is a danger of being smothered. In many of Jeff Gord's human furniture creations, vibrators were also used.[5] Proper safety requires frequent checks of the submissive's well-being.
