Faye Toogood designs lollipop stick-like chair and footstool for Vaarnii
British designer Faye Toogood has collaborated with Finnish furniture brand Vaarnii to create the Peace outdoor furniture collection, which will be unveiled at Stockholm Furniture Fair.
The collection comprises the Peace Outdoor Lounge Chair and Footstool, which were designed to reference classic wooden garden furniture and made from timber that bears a resemblance to oversized lollipop sticks.
The Peace chair and footstool have rounded edges
"We started looking at the archetype of classic wooden garden furniture, the Adirondack chair in all its fantastic variations," Toogood told Dezeen.
"From there we started to work with lollipop sticks to make hundreds of mini maquettes."
Faye Toogood made maquettes from lollipop sticks As part of the design process, Toogood used lollipop sticks to create models of the chair as the shape is similar to the form of Vaarnii's pine planks.
"We made all models for the Peace Chair with lollypop sticks, in our studio we always start with maquettes and these sticks are the perfect mini pine planks," Toogood explained.
The chair was made by Vaarnii from pine wood
While the designer has created a number of furniture designs in the past, including a love seat made from a dying ash tree, it was the first time that Toogood worked with Vaarnii.
The brand specialises in pine furniture, which it makes locally in Finland.
