We reveal the objects that inspire us: the Paper! The Scissors! The Stone!
With busy hands we re-create all three, in gleaming metallic lurex and scored cords, in granite hues and woven jacquard with geological motifs, in painterly patterns on crisp papery cottons.

CHATSWORTH HOUSE
"I was approached by curator Glenn Adamson, who wanted me to respond to one of Chatsworth's incredible rooms. I was immediately drawn to the chapel, which felt to me untouched since its creation by the first Duke. This is connected to the Oak Room - an entirely contrasting space panelled with oak from a monastery in Germany.
This commission arrived as I was in the middle of Assemblage 7, my most ambitious work with wood and stone. The shellac stained, polished oak pieces of Assemblage 7 were in part inspired by the refined polished wood found in stately homes like Chatsworth. And the Purbeck marble we were using is normally seen in ecclesiastical buildings. Wonderfully serendipitous."

WOODLANDS, FIELDS, MOORS
The timeless spirit of the English landscape imbues Faye Toogood’s designs for Brooklyn-based Calico Wallpaper. The designs were inspired by Toogood’s childhood memories of rural England.
Three different papers have been developed: “Woodland”, a graphic monochrome sketch of sylvan calm; “Fields”, a painterly evocation of a rural idyll in bold, rich colours; and “Moors”, which encapsulates the rugged uplands with broad horizontal strokes

"I find the ephemeral beauty of the seasons inspiring. I think I’m often trying to capture a sense of this transience in my work."
