What would it mean for the world if we were to become more aware of the ambivalence we encounter in our interactions with one another? What might sustainable relationships involve? Polite Furniture engages with the complexities and contradictions that expose us to our ordinary human frailty in day to day life.

Emotional Sustainability means choosing with care the parts you are prepared to play in the dramas of others - friends, family, governments, and nations. Acknowledge your limitations whenever you have the opportunity. The most creative place you can be and probably the hardest work you will ever do, is to remain in the audience.

Everyone wants to feel more comfortable in the world. Relaxed people are productive and fun to be around. These drawings, prints and texts are designed to support the minor adjustments it might be possible for us to make to our world view, on this very personal level.

We use environmentally friendly water based inks and each hand printed garment is sealed with a heat press to ensure colour fastness. Please use short wash cycles to keep your garment green.
