I was lucky enough to see Faye Toogood‘s first stab at furniture design earlier this week as part of her Super Natural exhibition. And, as expected, it’s absolutely stunning.
The collection is called Assemblage 1 – and focuses on three elements: wood, brass and stone. There is also a concentration on English craftmanship and materials.
Some of my favourite pieces are below. The hanging mobile (which needs to be seen in person) is made of solid brass rods in which sheets of amber-tinted glass (all cut to ISO 216 sizes) balance with found granite stones. The ‘Element’ lamp is hand-sculpted from Perryfield Whitbed Portland stone (which is surprisingly soft and smooth to the touch!)
Super Natural is on until the end of the 28th… I’d highly recommend getting there to see it in person.
