Sticks and Stones and Broken Bones

An extraordinary collection of handles and hooks cast from found objects, Toogood’s Sticks and Stones and Broken Bones becomes a kind of Wunderkammer in itself, a series of objects which translate the organic and the geological into crafted, cast metal. In an attempt to bring some of the tactile textures of the natural world to the usually geometric realm of hardware, designer Faye Toogood has created a range of visually arresting products covering all hardware applications from door and cabinet handles to coat hooks. Using her own collection the idea is that the products can be mixed and matched, each imparting to the architecture a sense of the foraged and the found.
