The Squash rug in the similarly named collection features a checkerboard motif inspired by old English patchwork chairs. Each square is hand-painted and the artwork translated into fabric using the traditional Berber knotting technique. The Squash rug is handmade and is available in different sizes and a range of colors. The dyeing process and use of natural fibers replicate the hand-painted design as faithfully as possible, while the plush fleece and subtly blended threads evoke the nuanced look of brushstrokes. All in accordance with the highest standards of sustainability.

Concept and Design

Softness, boldness and fun all in the one collection: Squash, designed by British artist Faye Toogood, captivates with its flippant nonchalance, starting with its playful and sensual name, reflecting a soft and sculptural approach to design. The collection is comfortable and cozy right from the first glance. Exuberant and bold, yet gentle and reassuring forms interact with a mix of soft and rigid materials. The flowing contours and soft padding disrupt the static essence of formal furniture. Traditional English folk elements are reworked and combined with 1970s influences. Squash suggests a notion of simple, contemporary elegance based on unique objects that work well alone, together, or combined with other furnishings.

Designed by
Faye Toogood

Faye Toogood is a British Designer whose practice encompasses interior design, homewares, fine art and fashion, and refuses to be constrained by a single discipline or defined way of working. 

Faye studied Art History at Bristol University and was Interiors Editor at The World of Interiors for eight years before founding Toogood, her London-based design studio in 2008. She has since become one of the most recognisable figures in the design and art industry, whose work has been exhibited and collected by Museums around the world including The Victoria and Albert London, NGV Melbourne, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Corning Museum of Glass, New York, and the Faberge Museum in St. Petersburg.

Faye was raised in the British countryside. A magpie’s instinct and obsession with landscape continue to permeate everything she designs, whether it be a bronze door handle cast from an abandoned skull, a fashion collection inspired by hay bales, or a house interior with the brooding palette of an English sky. Toogood brings a distinctly sculptural approach to the art of furniture design, with pieces such as the ‘Spade’ chair and the ‘Roly-Poly’ chair achieving iconic status through their strong geometry and form. 

Describing herself as an ‘outsider’ whose work defies categorisation, Faye has created a studio which allows a movement between genres. Architects, sculptors, furniture makers and illustrators cross-pollinate on every project, producing work that is rigorous, poetic and genuinely avant-garde.
