Designer Faye Toogood has the rare ability to balance morbidity with refinement. This is best seen in the interiors of her London house (note the skull beneath a pair of Perriand sconces) and in her own designs, her artwork verging on unsettling.
In 2010 Toogood created the Sticks and Stones and Broken Bones series of hardware with European brand Izé and we’ve admired the knobs and hooks ever since. But more as objects–we’re left wondering how they would look in situ without being too gimmicky. Toogood shows us.
