Faye Toogood to Launch Third Furniture Collection at Phillips De Pury & Company

LONDON.- British Designer, Faye Toogood, will launch her third furniture collection, Assemblage 3: Delicate Interference exclusively with Phillips de Pury & Company during the 2011 London Design Festival. Delicate Interference examines the natural, optical force of iridescence through new and re-contextualized works executed in bronze, aluminium, steel, glass and resin. Toogood employs an array of material treatments and a touch of alchemy to imbue Assemblage 3 with the properties native to iridescence, mimicking nature’s ability to attract and repel through light interference. The series is composed of a dressing table, a floor light, a wall sconce, an oil resin cube, and a mobile and successfully reexamines the Spade Chair, Spade Stool and Element Table from Assemblage 2. The entire series will be on show at Phillips de Pury’s, Brook Street space with Studio Toogood directing the exhibition design. All works
