T’s March 25 Design Issue

Highlights

  1. How Should Furniture Respond to the World Around It?

    As the distinction between art and design becomes ever more blurred, more artists are making objects that function, and more designers are making sculpture.

     By

    <strong>A Chair for Twins to Intertwine by Faye Toogood</strong><br /><br />When the London-based designer <a href="http://fayetoogood.com/">Faye Toogood</a> was pregnant with her twin daughters last year, she found herself dwelling on the image of a double-yolked egg, which conveyed the squishy comfort of snuggling in a warm space. Living part of the year with her family in their country house in Hampshire, she would occasionally come across double yolks in the fresh, organic eggs there, reminding her of the serendipity that can happen when you embrace nature. “I really wanted to keep that feeling,” she says of this cotton love seat. Using canvas isn’t unusual for Toogood, though generally she has reserved it for her unisex garments; her furniture tends to be minimal and sculptural, rendered from materials like resin and fiberglass. But since she finished the twin seat she’s come to see it as a new prototype for furniture that brings a relaxed edge to her clean and rigorous aesthetic.

  1. In Extreme Times, Extreme Clothes

    Fashion has always reflected — and deflected — global unrest. This season, the responses are as hysterical as the culture itself.

    High above the island’s famed beaches, in the fertile bohemian heartland, the hills are piney, the air is scented with lavender and cowboys still wander past on horseback.

  1. Letter from the Editor

    T’s Design Issue: This Is Us

    Because my family was so transitory, I grew up associating the idea of home less with a physical structure than with the objects that inhabited it.

  6. The Artist’s Life

    Does Having a Day Job Mean Making Better Art?

    A full-time gig is antithetical to creative pursuits — or so we’ve been taught to believe. The truth, though, is that artists have always had other professions.

    By Katy Waldman

     
  7. An Artist’s Spiritual Ephemera, Illustrated

    Tony Oursler was born to a deep-seated obsession with the occult and paranormal, amassing a collection that’s grown to include over 3,000 objects.
