A participant in art and design festivals, Toogood recently put together an installation during the London Design Festival. Instead of presenting her own work, Toogood assembled works from 50 designers, architects, and artists.
The chosen 50 were asked to donate a piece of their own work. In return, Toogood gifted each artist with a limited-edition version of one of her signature Spade chairs cast in aluminum for the occasion. Toogood has said about her curated furniture fair, “This is based on the centuries-old tradition of artists supporting artists, each through mutually beneficial barter.”
Ironically, the fair’s location is the same where she launched her debut furniture collection in 2010.
