Sara was tired. Tired of everything – her job, colleagues, traffic jams, bad-working microwave oven, heat of the summer city covered in dust and permeated with cafes and restaurants all looking the same, newspapers that brought only sad news, faded apartment that never looked at the sun with its gray windows, lack of passion in life, and much more. On the Internet, she found out a proposition to take a rest for several days in the cabin in the woods that had a fairly nice price and was valuable for her: there was a lake there, clear forest air, a little store in the city if she needed anything. But the best thing for her was a quiet rest, wooden house of a type of a cabin with the fireplace and total representation to oneself. She could listen to squeaks of pines, as squirrels rustle in the trees, as birds chirr and chat, as fireplace crackle – this all contributed to her happiness and tranquility.

If you live long enough in this particularly crazy world, you should have encountered such a thing as furniture made of people.

Not in a direct sense, of course – nobody kills or dismantles people to produce a piece of furniture from their flesh and bones. No. This is what happens: people of model appearance or simply with a likable body come into someone’s house or venue, undress, and start posing as furniture. They can play a table, a lamp, a chair… Usually, they additionally use a part of real furniture to make use of their posing. For a table, they might hold a tabletop on their back. Or several backs if one table is composed of several people at once. To act as a lamp, they take the light bulb and lampshade. The first is then usually held in a hand and the second is worn on the head.
