Multi-talented designer Faye Toogood is one of the most celebrated creative talents in British design. With a constant drive to challenge herself, she explores and experiments with unconventional ideas that become designs for interiors, furniture and accessories, as well as highly original clothes and sculptural pieces. Her constantly evolving language is truly fascinating, while at the same time maintaining her unmistakable style consisting of soft, enveloping, primitive shapes, natural colours and raw surfaces. Studio Toogood, founded in London in 2008, is known for its multidisciplinary approach, characterised by unprecedented fusions that give rise to projects that transcend the boundaries of design into all-encompassing creativity. Unstructured lines and unusual tailoring are the recurring theme in many of her most recent collections, including the Cosmic furniture range for Tacchini, which plays on the overlaying of cosy elements, the Squash range of chairs and accessories for Poltrona Frau, characterised by their super-bold silhouette, and the Rude range of rugs for cc-tapis, in which the layering of shapes, textures and colours places a central role. “One thing all my works have in common is a passion for shapes and materials, but always using different approaches to achieve different results”.
