Crease, the origami sofa
What would an armchair look like if it were turned inside out, like a sweater? Designer Faye Toogood answers with a groundbreaking collection for Meritalia® called Crease. It includes an armchair and a sofa (two seater and three seater). Irony and sophistication unfold through prominent stitching and almost two-dimensional shapes throughout the soft wool upholstery.
All three are the result of almost archetypal, classic models, as if the "reverse" side of the lining concealed every peculiarity. But what truly distinguishes them - and makes Toogood's signature evident - is the very importance of the upholstery, which serves as a starting point, even before the structure itself. All the components of Crease are made by hands that seem to have folded the paper to cover the "structure." It is the “fold” lines, intentionally imperfect, that create soft, playful, and sculptural forms.
