ASSEMBLING OUR FIRST-EVER FAMILY ISSUE GOT US THINKING about what “family” means—and just what we wanted to include in these pages. Did the theme necessitate a focus on children? Would we turn the idea of what constitutes a family on its ear and highlight creative communities linked not by genetics but by a shared interest in, say, what good upholstery can do?

I can’t quite remember when the yelps started coming in successive waves every morning, but that and approximately 1,000 scurrying footsteps are now a reliable feature of my daily routine. Being surrounded by new-dog energy feels like a sign of the times. If you didn’t have a dog pre-pandemic but could have, you probably do now. If you did have one before 2020, it has since become your de facto child. More than a cat—or, say, a goldfish—our bonds with dogs come closest to human companionship. And you don’t have to take my word for it. The designer Oliver M. Furth, who has a four-and-a-half-year-old poodle named Murphy with his partner,…
