Furniture Request Live:
Furniture and music are two things that really inspire us here at AFR, but for some reason we rarely mix the two in our minds. We couldn’t help but start to wonder about the possible instances of these two powerful sources of creativity and passion crossing paths over the years. Could there really be furniture music, and what does it sound like?
Since we’re curious fans of both furniture and music, we decided to do some digging in an attempt to track down a few of the most streamed, most popular songs that relate to furniture in some way – whether through lyrics or something as simple as the song title.
While we were a bit worried that this could turn out to be an impossible musical scavenger hunt, we quickly learned that there were actually a ton of interesting and popular songs to pick from – songs about barstools, and armoires, and lampshades (oh my). We feel this is just another compelling example of the beautiful ways in which furniture can inspire art and art can inspire furniture.
If you’re obsessed with great furniture and great music like we are, we hope you enjoy this Furniture Request Live countdown. Without further ado, let’s kick off the countdown with our #10 top-streamed furniture song:
