Summary

The first in-depth look at the work of the globally celebrated and multidisciplinary London-based designer Faye Toogood - this book covers all aspects of her work, from clothes and furniture, to installations and interior design

Faye Toogood is unlike any other designer. Her impressive creative output encompasses not only furniture, but sculpture, fashion, interiors, and homeware.

This book is the first to explore Toogood's unique approach to design across disciplines through the studio's guiding principles: drawing, material, sculpture, and landscape.

In doing so it not only reveals the fascinating creative process behind Toogood's beautiful designs, but also illustrates the interconnectedness of her design across a range of practices together with the poetry that flows throughout her work.

The book also features her collaborations with (and commissions by) such brands as Birkenstock, Carhartt WIP, Comme des Garçons, Dover Street Market, Hermès, Mulberry and National Gallery of Victoria.
