Faye Toogood – design without boundaries
Faye Toogood is a British artist and designer whose work moves fluidly between sculpture, furniture design and fashion. Her expression is unmistakably original: sculptural forms, bold use of materials and an intuitive design process come together in pieces that exist at the intersection of art and design.
A multidisciplinary force
With a background in graphic design, Toogood founded her studio in London in 2008 and quickly rose to international recognition with her boundary-breaking approach.
Many of her designs – such as the iconic Roly-Poly and Puffy chairs – are at once playful and monumental. For Toogood, design is about creating immersive worlds where space, material and storytelling intertwine.
International acclaim
Toogood’s award-winning work has been widely exhibited on international stages, including Phillips de Pury and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Milan Triennale, D Museum in Seoul and the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.
This global recognition reflects her status as one of the most compelling British designers of our time.
