Making a Mark: The Importance of Signature Style and Making Design Personal | Faye Toogood

On Wednesday 15 October, we will hold our Modern Design and Decorative Arts auction. The sale celebrates modernity in all its forms - from the ideals of the Arts & Crafts movement, through the elegance of Art Deco, to the innovation of mid-century and contemporary studio designers and makers. Whether you're starting a collection or expanding an existing one, you’ll find iconic works by early avant-garde designers, studio ceramicists, celebrated mid-century figures, and masters of post-war design.

We are delighted to welcome British designer Faye Toogood, founder of Toogood, a London-based design studio. Faye is renowned for her timeless yet unconventional creations spanning furniture, interiors, clothing, and homeware. Before establishing her studio, she served as Interiors Editor at The World of Interiors for eight years. At the heart of every Toogood project lies a restless spirit of experimentation and a joy in process and play. Each undertaking brings together designers, furniture makers, sculptors, and interior specialists, fostering collaborations that result in work that is rigorous, poetic, and genuinely avant-garde. As a designer and creator, Faye shares her thoughts on the importance of developing a signature style and making design - and collecting - profoundly personal.
