Faye Toogood – Crossing The Boundaries of Art and Design

Faye Toogood (b. 1977) is a British artist and designer. With a BA in Art History from Bristol University, 8 years as Interior Design Editor at The World of Interiors, and her own design studio in London, Faye Toogood is active in a variety of disciplines – from sculpture and furniture design to interior design, homewares, fashion, and art.

Her creative projects are diverse and can be found in prestigious institutions around the world, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Toogood’s innovative work refuses to be categorized; it is both sculptural and avant-garde. Particularly popular are her iconic products such as the ‘Spade’ chair and the ‘Roly-Poly’ chair, which have been exhibited at Phillips, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the D Museum in Seoul.

Faye Toogood’s furniture crosses the boundary into fine art, her unconventional and versatile approach giving space to a limitless spectrum of ideas and visions.
