Faye Toogood Textiles
Faye Toogood’s name is practically synonymous with her Roly Poly chair. With its chubby legs and bowl-like seat, the now-iconic piece epitomized the trend toward chunky forms that defined avant-garde furniture design in the 2010s. But the visionary British artist’s contributions go far beyond the chair and its similarly robust companion pieces, in disciplines ranging from textiles and ceramics to fashion and home interiors.
“I design holistically, with an overall vision across fashion, furniture and interiors,” she tells 1stDibs. “Furniture is something I return to over and over again and is a very strong part of this vision. I am interested in humans and the way they live — the spaces they inhabit, the clothes they wear, the objects they surround themselves with.”
After a childhood spent running free in the English countryside with nature as her playground, Toogood studied art history at Bristol University rather than attend art school. Her design approach is underpinned by contrast and understandably informed by art history, particularly the mid-20th-century modernism of such British artists as Barbara Hepworth and Alfred Wallis. “For me, it is about playing around with references and our associations, be that with materials or the precious and the raw, the masculine and the feminine,” she explains. “I’m able to use those contrasts to create friction.”
Toogood has exhibited at Phillips and the Victoria Albert Museum in London, the Triennale in Milan and D Museum in Seoul. In addition, her works are in the permanent collections of institutions worldwide, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art; Dallas Museum of Art; Denver Art Museum; High Museum of Art, in Atlanta; Corning Museum of Glass, in New York; the National Gallery of Victoria, in Melbourne; and the Fabergé Museum in St. Petersburg.

Luxury Vintage Irish Linen Pillow Woven in Ireland Blue Stripe Cushion
Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland
Luxury pillow created from exquisite and rare vintage Irish Linen by Irish designer Katie Larmour.
Made from quality vintage, pure, 100% Irish Linen made from the flax plant, from an unused roll.
Highly textured, grainy and sumptuous to touch.
Each cushion is handmade in Ireland.
Lined in organic cotton, and finished with a concealed zip.
Recommended 20x20" feather filler insert for plumpness.
Backed in new natural undyed Irish linen on the reverse.
Irish Linen is highly regarded worldwide, known since the turn-of-the-century as ‘white gold’ and the ultimate ‘aristocrat of textiles’.
Katie Larmour is an associate member of The Irish Linen Guild and highlighted as a ‘recommended purveyor of Irish Linen goods’ by the guild on their official website.
Katie is an ambassador The European Confederation of Flax and Hemp (CELC).
Katie Larmour’s Studio are renowned for their high end creations.
In beautiful faded tones of soft blue and navy, reminiscent of traditional French textiles.
Both the hue and striped pattern make this a wonderfully versatile piece, working particularly well with beach house, yachts, sailboat, nautical decor, rustic, country manor house, bohemian and ‘shabby-chic’ interiors.
More than one is available. There may be a lead making time of approx 1-2 weeks (often a small amount of stock is made and ready for immediate shipping)
Please note the nature of linen is that the surface may contain ‘slubs’, this is to do with the weaving process. They are not seen as flaws and add to the textile’s character and charm, it is the nature of the natural fabric and we ask you to take this into consideration before ordering.
We have a large collection of unique cushions listed here on 1stdibs, from one-of-a-kind vintage designer silk scarf...
