After years of designing furniture almost exclusively using miniature maquettes, Gummy demanded a new approach: “Upholstery is a completely different process and so we needed to build Gummy in the factory. Finding the right scale in the curving wooden skeleton and then sculpting the shape with coconut husk and wool.” – Faye Toogood.

ASSEMBLAGE 8: PALETTE
Palette is Toogood’s new proposal for wooden furniture. The coffee table, side table and console are formed from intersecting, curving shapes that appear to slot into each other. The organic contour of each tabletop evokes an artist’s paint palette, with the hand of the artist present in the painterly finish.
FURNITURE
All of the pieces are handmade by small-scale fabricators and traditional artisans, with an honesty to the irregularity of the chosen material.
