Faye Toogood

Faye Toogood is a British designer. Her furniture and objects demonstrate an interest in materiality and experimentation. All her creations are handmade by small-scale producers and traditional craftsmen, respecting the natural state and irregularity of the chosen material. Her highly sculptural works show a shrewd respect for the past and are at the same time the result of pure self-expression and instinct.

Bitossi Ceramiche

Bitossi is a historic identity of Italian manufacturing, present since the second half of the nineteenth century in the area of Montelupo Fiorentino, Tuscany. The Bitossi manufactory, today Bitossi Ceramiche, belongs to the family for five generations and has been located in the same place since 1921. The company in the year 2014 was included in the Register of Italian Historical Enterprises. Bitossi production until the end of the 1940s reflects the traditional taste linked to local production, and then evolved into unique creations exported worldwide that still represent the excellence of Made in Italy. Many designers have approached the production of Manifattura Bitossi over the years, creating new collections. First of all, the architect Ettore Sottsass, who started to collaborate the Bitossi factory from 1955 to experiment and created new modern ceramics.
