pots(o) / Faye Toogood
A shared history of tea leaf roasting, ceramics, and the intricate and delicate rituals of the tea ceremony.
Moments of tranquility crossing continents gave rise to a tangible form.
The "pots" series, featuring Faye Toogood's iconic curvilinear design, is realized through traditional Japanese wood-firing techniques. The lid resembles a tea bowl and, when inverted, the knob becomes a foot, allowing it to function as a vessel. It possesses a quiet, somewhat Japanese aesthetic within Faye's distinctive, object-like designs.
