Faye Toogood approaches furniture the way a sculptor approaches material: with physical intuition and a refusal to separate comfort from form. The Squash Armchair, created for Poltrona Frau's 2024 Imagine Collection, is that sensibility made fully inhabitable. Its rounded contours and swelling cushion volumes suggest something pressed gently into shape, settled and completely at ease. The construction begins with a rigid polimex frame, which provides structural integrity beneath the generous upholstery. Large, softly padded cushions are offered in Pelle Frau leather or a leather and fabric combination, with removable covers that allow the piece to evolve over time. Light padding extends across the frame and legs, so even the structural elements feel considered rather than incidental. Rigid polimex frame with full upholstery coverage Available in Pelle Frau leather or leather and fabric combinations Removable cushion covers for long-term versatility Part of Poltrona Frau's 2024 Imagine Collection Toogood's practice draws from art, craft, and anthropology in equal measure. Her furniture carries the weight of objects that have always existed, forms that feel at once prehistoric and entirely of the present moment.
