Who designed the chair you are sitting in right now? Who made the chair you are sitting in right now? How, where and from what was it made? These are the questions Faye Toogood wants visitors to explore in MANUFRACTURE.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cFor furniture to have a future, we must mend the fractures in our chain of makers. We must take pride in process. The pursuit of quality is not just a means to profit,\u201d says Faye Toogood.<\/span><\/p>\n The installation spotlights each link in the chain of makers, exploring the complex, symbiotic relationship between artist and artisan. Toogood\u2019s personal archive of maquettes takes centre stage as she opens the doors to her studio, laying bare her creative process, to encourage conversation and demystify the process of designing and making.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span>\u201cI\u2019ve chosen to bring pieces from my own personal archive to the Stockholm Furniture Fair. I\u2019m essentially opening my cupboards, my processes, my works \u2013 things that usually don\u2019t get shown. It makes me feel vulnerable. There are unfinished things, things that didn\u2019t work, things I still hope for in the future. But sharing this feels important to me at the moment,\u201d says Toogood.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cFrom these humble, sometimes precarious models made out of masking tape and spare pieces of cardboard\u2026 grow furniture collections that can involve a hundred different people. All highly skilled in their specific craft. In my respect for the makers, I\u2019ve made a vow to always put emotion into the work, to make it meaningful,\u201d she continues.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n A FRACTURED PROCESS<\/span><\/p>\n Faye Toogood has chosen the name MANUFRACTURE because she feels that the process of making things today is fractured. The way we manufacture and move things around the world is problematic.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe main challenge for furniture designers today is that we are surrounded by a world saturated with design and objects. Do we really need new things? Probably not. So, as designers, we need to understand our role in the future, and I believe our role is to create objects that truly connect, that become integral to how we live \u2013 not just in function, but in emotion.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n DESIGNING BY MAKING<\/span><\/p>\n Toogood\u2019s latest collection of furniture, Assemblage 8, including Gummy (upholstered seating) and Palette (wooden tables), embodies the ideas behind MANUFRACTURE and will be on display in the exhibition. Gummy Armchair is Toogood\u2019s first upholstered chair. While she has long desired to produce upholstered furniture, it has taken years to find and build relationships with the right makers. Gummy is the result of this journey and is crafted locally using traditional techniques and sustainable materials like coconut husk and wool.<\/span><\/p>\n Toogood has recently collaborated with design brands Poltrona Frau, Tacchini, cc-tapis, Vaarnii, and Hem, amongst others. The London-based studio, founded by Faye Toogood in 2008, spans design, art, and fashion, blending a deep respect for craftsmanship with a playful, intuitive design approach.<\/span><\/p>\n – It is an honor to be invited to the Stockholm Furniture Fair. I believe that creativity is the connecting link that can unite us all. I will take this conviction with me to Stockholm. I want to celebrate thinking and creating, artists and craftsmen,” concludes Faye Toogood.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n WORDS Eva Magnuszewska<\/span> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Logos” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”92c65e68-3f7f-4303-9c7d-a7ffd6dca311″ background_enable_color=”off” custom_padding=”0px||50px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”81c64a6d-4dbf-484b-bf12-393f3b1b21d1″ custom_padding=”27px||0px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”6c986d97-41e4-44db-b5f6-2343c1263b2b” text_font=”Ivar SFF Display||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Framing the installation is flooring by Tarkett:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”546f6f5e-af65-40dd-9514-f24d246022f3″ width_tablet=”” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/stockholmfurniturefair.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Tarkett_500x400.png” title_text=”Tarkett_500x400″ url=”https:\/\/www.tarkett-group.com\/en\/” url_new_window=”on” src_tablet=”https:\/\/stockholmfurniturefair.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Tarkett_500x400.png” src_phone=”https:\/\/stockholmfurniturefair.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/tmf_500x400-1.jpg” src_last_edited=”on|phone” align_tablet=”” align_phone=”left” align_last_edited=”on|phone” module_class=”logo-member img square” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”073810b0-3b26-47dc-83ff-9d5122db2a4d” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” filter_opacity=”50%” hover_enabled=”0″ module_alignment_tablet=”” module_alignment_phone=”left” module_alignment_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_free_form=”@media (max-width: 768px) {|| .wp-image-3316890 {|| display: block;|| margin: 0;|| text-align: left;|| }||}” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Faye Toogood’s exhibition is about the hands of craftIn February 2025, the internationally acclaimed designer and artist will be the 20th Guest of Honour at Stockholm Furniture Fair, dedicating her […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":3317045,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"hf_cat_page":[],"class_list":["post-3321576","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholmfurniturefair.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3321576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholmfurniturefair.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholmfurniturefair.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholmfurniturefair.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholmfurniturefair.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3321576"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/stockholmfurniturefair.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3321576\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3329840,"href":"https:\/\/stockholmfurniturefair.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3321576\/revisions\/3329840"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholmfurniturefair.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3317045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholmfurniturefair.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3321576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"hf_cat_page","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholmfurniturefair.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hf_cat_page?post=3321576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
