In Faye Toogood’s work, furniture seems to carry a history before it has even been used. Through wood, stone and relic-like forms, the British designer creates objects that seem to belong to a timescale extending beyond the moment of their making.

At a lower height, interior design finds another form of presence. Coffee tables, plinths, benches and platforms do not simply occupy space: they give it a centre of gravity.

In a world saturated with images and constant visibility, some creators choose restraint. A reflection on contemporary creation, silence, long duration, and process as new markers of luxury.
