Astral is a metal cabinet forming part of Cosmic: Toogood’s collaborative collection with Tacchini. Like the other pieces in Cosmic, Astral celebrates irregular and elliptical shapes. Faye Toogood’s process is predominately rooted in hand-making maquettes out of everyday materials. The contours of Astral were first discovered in pliable aluminium mesh, then scaled up in steel. Like the Orbit tables or Lunar lights, the cabinet features soft shapes within shapes. Astral is designed with the playful and organic approach of the Toogood studio. Sculptural forms that unite the artistic with the everyday. The cabinet’s curves trick the eye and at first glance it appears Astral has no straight lines. The shelves are of course level and functional, ready for you to fill with your own curiosities.
