Butter armchair

The Butter armchair captivates with its generous seating area and enveloping backrest, which ergonomically supports the body without forcing a rigid posture. Characteristic side seams highlight the voluminous, soft upholstery and give the armchair its distinctive design language. The robust wooden structure is padded with multi-density polyurethane foam, offering optimal comfort. Choose between luxurious fabrics or fine leather – both upholstery options emphasize the high-quality craftsmanship of this timeless seating furniture.

Faye Toogood, like few other designers, stands at the intersection of craftsmanship, architectural documentation, and artistic reflection. Her work stems from an unmistakable sense of material-based poetry, functional clarity, and a deep connection to the history of furniture making, while simultaneously boldly charting new paths. Through research, sketching, and experimental modular construction, she creates spaces and objects that are both captivatingly stark and sensuously appealing.

What distinguishes Toogood's work is her ability to tell stories – from the skilled handling of ancient materials like wood, metal, or textiles to contemporary forms of expression that dominate spaces with character rather than consumption. Her designs often seem to come directly from a noted idea, a sketchbook, or an archaeological excavation: raw, honest, full of potential. At the same time, they resonate as thoughtful, precise, and culturally reflected, so that each piece possesses a clear, unique identity while still communicating with its surroundings.

Toogood's design practice is characterized by an open, inquisitive spirit: she works across disciplines, combining fashion, art, craft, and architecture into a coherent whole. Her collections reveal a preference for robust materials, spontaneous forms, and subtle cross-references to historical designs, without succumbing to nostalgia. Instead, she generates new meanings by deliberately staging contrasts – rough vs. refined, massive vs. light, traditional vs. contemporary.

In her engagement with textures, proportions, and spatial impact, Toogood reminds us that design is more than function: it is a way to create atmosphere, tell stories, and inspire people. Her work invites us not just to own furniture, but to experience it; not just to use spaces, but to feel them.

Faye Toogood remains a prominent voice in the contemporary design landscape: courageous, nuanced, fearless in her curiosity, yet sensitive to context, materials, and environment. She shapes a design language that sharpens both sight and sense – an enduring invitation to create spaces with dignity, wit, and warmth.
