Introducing Poltrona Frau

New to the Tollgard showroom this Autumn are Poltrona Frau. Creating understated and elegant objects inspired by tradition and projected into the future to provide global living solutions. With over 110 years of heritage, Poltrona Frau is a beautiful blend of creativity, craftsmanship and technology, specialising in some of the finest materials, including leather.

Man of Parts

Founded by design aficionado Stephan Weishaupt, Man of Parts launched in 2019 and is a brand that reflects the attitudes of its customers; global citizens for whom travel and exploration is a way of life. The Via Giulia is a new sofa design, showcasing an elegant and sculptural form. Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, it is named after a cobbled street in Rome, lined with churches and historic palazzi with an ivy-covered archway designed by Michelangelo.

Rakumba

For over fifty years, Rakumba Lighting has been creating decorative lights and lighting systems with an elegant and contemporary design. Among the essential values of the Australian company, there is the will to perfect each creation, designed with meticulous attention to detail. This autumn we welcome a selection of new designs to the showroom, which explore innovation and natural beauty.

Tom Fereday

Another new addition to the Tollgard showroom. Tom Fereday is fascinated by the tension that lies between natural materials and contemporary design and manufacture, developing unique designs that originate from an intrinsic inquiry into the role of objects today.

‍

“The inspiration for the design began with a walk in the woods. At every level, life strives towards the light. The twin expressions of this organic growth, Chanterelle captures both the branches of the trees and their graceful canopies as well as the organic sculptural forms of the forest floor.”

Staffan Tollgård

Founder and Creative Director

A Sneak Peak

‍

Pebbles

Pebbles from Czech glassmaker Bomma promote playful exploration. Just as with stones, the crystal components of the Pebbles Collection are absolute originals, thanks to Bomma’s signature hand-blowing technique. String the colorful shapes onto its inner light source as you wish and create elegant objects that transform into artworks in any interior. Dare to go bold!

Divina

Designed for Bomma by DECHEM Studio, Divina is unique – artistically poetic, as well as strictly minimalistic. Its refined colour gradients lend it an aura of timeless dreaminess, while remaining visually striking.

Dew Drops

The Dew Drops Collection, by Boris Klimek, captures nature’s ephemeral beauty with iridescence. Each piece mirrors morning dew on grass blades, illuminated from within, creating unique aesthetics. Versatile installations allow creativity, forming captivating centerpieces. Like Klimek’s Pebbles Collection, Dew Drops embody nature’s magic with grace.

Phenomena

The Phenomena Collection, envisioned by DECHEM Studio, embodies Plato’s philosophy on transient existence. Hand-blown into bespoke forms, these glass lighting fixtures juxtapose the material’s rigidity and fragility, echoing life’s contradictions. Available as pendants or floor and table lamps, they epitomize DECHEM Studio’s artistry, harmonizing form and function in a captivating exploration of phenomena.

Hand-made in Belgium, each table is created using a cement-based plaster technique that is carefully applied in several layers.

Alphenberg

Alphenberg believe that leather should look like leather.  It’s a slow material: the buffalo skin the reflection of life in a rough terrain.

Tollgard is proud to bring Broom, the most beautiful and bold expression of this technical expertise to London, straight from Maison et Object. Broom is elegantly fluted, tactile and luxurious.
