Faye Toogood

Faye Toogood is a British Designer whose practice encompasses interior design, homewares, fine art and fashion, and refuses to be constrained by a single discipline or defined way of working. Faye studied Art History at Bristol University and was Interiors Editor at The World of Interiors for eight years before founding Toogood, her London-based design studio in 2008. She has since become one of the most recognisable figures in the design and art industry, whose work has been exhibited and collected by Museums around the world including The Victoria and Albert London, NGV Melbourne, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Corning Museum of Glass, New York, and the Faberge Museum in St. Petersburg. Faye was raised in the British countryside. A magpie’s instinct and obsession with landscape continue to permeate everything she designs, whether it be a bronze door handle cast from an abandoned skull, a fashion collection inspired by hay bales, or a house interior with the brooding palette of an English sky. Toogood brings a distinctly sculptural approach to the art of furniture design, with pieces such as the ‘Spade’ chair and the ‘Roly-Poly’ chair achieving iconic status through their strong geometry and form.
