DESIGNER

Faye Toogood

British artist and designer Faye Toogood is renowned for her sculptural and innovative designs rooted in materiality 

and experimentation. With versatility and creativity at the core of her practice, she navigates various fields, 

from furniture to sculpture and fashion. Her creations blend bold forms with natural materials, offering 

a distinct portrayal of modernity. Among her most iconic works, the Roly-Poly series stands out, featuring chairs,

 armchairs, and tables, boasting a voluminous yet elegantly inviting aesthetic.

Faye Toogood was raised among the furrowed fields of the English countryside. From an early age she would go 

foraging in the woods in her wellingtons, collecting sticks and stones and broken bones, and endlessly rearranging 

them on the mantelpiece in her room. In her early twenties, she turned up at Vogue House clutching a leather suitcase 

full of found objects and landed a job as a stylist at The World of Interiors. Faye has since become one of the 

most recognisable figures in the design and art industry, whose work can be found in museum collections 

around the world. 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 haybales, 

or a house interior with the brooding palette of an English sky. Faye’s practice encompasses interior design, 

homewares, fine art and fashion, and refuses to be constrained by a single discipline or defined way of working. 

Her London studio is filled with talented nonconformists just like her. Architects, sculptors, furniture makers 

and illustrators cross-pollinate on every project, producing work that is rigorous, poetic and genuinely avant-garde. 

Chief among these is her sister, Erica Toogood. Erica has inherited the dextrous hands of her grandmother, a tailor 

who made underwear out of parachutes during the Second World War. Prior to joining forces with Faye, she worked 

with a number of London fashion designers as a pattern-cutter and created costumes for theatrical productions. 

Toogood’s clothing is instilled with the unmistakable spirit of both sisters: Faye’s preoccupation with materiality 

and Erica’s audacious shape-making. One a tinker, the other a tailor.
