Toogood x Tacchini, Bread & Butter
British designer Faye Toogood has created another stella collaboration that blends everyday rituals with high-concept form.
Teaming up with Italian design house Tacchini, Toogood presented Bread & Butter —a furniture collection as tactile, fun and thought-provoking as its name suggests.

Unveiled during Milan Design Week 2025, where Toogood also received the prestigious EDIDA Designer of the Year Award, this latest body of work explores the humble foundations of domestic life—comfort, nourishment, and the beauty of ordinary pleasures.

Bread and Butter: Sculpting the Everyday
At the heart of the collection is the Butter Sofa, a modular seating system born from a process as poetic as it is playful.
Toogood began by shaping pats of butter into maquettes, translating that soft, yielding form into velvet-upholstered modules that invite touch and create a landscape of comfort.
Equally expressive is the Bread & Butter Console Table, its sculptural silhouette inspired by stacks of real sourdough. Carved from stained ash wood with delicate maple inlays, it’s a tactile nod to domestic familiarity, reimagined through Toogood’s sculptural lens.
The collection includes:
*Butter Sofa – sectional, velvet-upholstered, sculptural yet grounding
*Bread and Butter Side Tables – available in short and tall variations
*Bread and Butter Console Table – statement storage meets functional art
*Butter Serving Tray – a glazed ceramic piece with rich, buttery depth
In a recent interview with Archiproducts, Toogood reflected on the evolving role of design:
"Is it enough to talk about form and function, or beauty and utility these days? I don’t think so... Design now must consider the human, the environment, and the world."
This ethos is deeply embedded in Bread and Butter—a collection that evokes emotion through material, storytelling, and a reconnection with tactile rituals. It’s design that nourishes, both physically and conceptually.
In a design landscape saturated with speed and sameness, Faye Toogood’s work with Tacchini offers a slower, more meaningful rhythm. It champions materiality, memory, and imagination—key pillars of what The Fluxx sees as the future of furniture design.
