Kiln Collection

Faye Toogood

I wanted to bring some strong geometry to the Noritake table taking influence from these incredible relics of manufacturing, which is why I named it KILN.

KILN is sculptural porcelain collection influenced by the geometry of the manufacturing relics Faye Toogood discovered during her residency at Noritake’s heritage home in Nagoya. Produced in two colours: Black Seto Glaze, Noritake White.

Also  in progress is a signature Japanese Seihakuji light blue Celadon Glaze, that will  feature botanical motifs taken from a new Toogood artwork.
“Within the premises of the Noritake headquarters the company has a beautiful garden that is open to the public. Inspired by this space, I was keen to capture the whimsical and poetic approach to nature that feels intrinsic to Japanese culture,” says Toogood of Pond, a circular composition featuring a variety of flora and fauna radiating from a central frog on a lily pad. Frogs are rich in symbolism in Japanese folklore, signifying good fortune, fertility and prosperity. Pond appears in full on a master plate, while lotus flowers, flies, and – most notably – the frogs are dispersed randomly across the collection to elicit a sense of discovery. KILN comprises essential tableware such as plates, cups, pots, but also decorative items such as vases.

Toogood is a London-based design studio that refuses to be constrained by any one discipline. Founded and led by Faye Toogood, she and her team create timeless works of unconventional design including but never limited to furniture, interiors, clothing and homeware. Faye has a BA in Art History from the University of Bristol and was Interiors Editor at The World of Interiors for eight years before setting up her studio in 2008. At the centre of every Toogood project is a restless spirit of experimentation, and a joy taken in process and play. On each project, designers, furniture makers, sculptors and interior designers cross-pollinate to produce work that is rigorous, poetic and genuinely avant-garde.

Faye’s furniture crosses the boundary into fine art and has been exhibited at Phillips de Pury and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Triennale in Milan, D Museum in Seoul, National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, National Theatre in Qatar and Chatsworth House in Derbyshire.
