Faye Toogood x Tacchini. Bread & Butter, sofa, Milan Design Week 2025 at the Tacchini Showroom.
British designer Faye Toogood created another Stella collaboration at his year’s Milan Design Week, blending everyday rituals with high-concept form.Teaming up with Italian design house Tacchini, Toogood presented Bread & Butter —a furniture collection as tactile, fun and thought-provoking as its name suggests.
Being so high profile,Faye also partnered with Noritakes tableware.

At the heart of the collection is the Butter Sofa, a modular seating system born from a process as poetic as it is playful.
Toogood began by shaping pats of butter into maquettes, translating that soft, yielding form into velvet-upholstered modules that invite touch and create a landscape of comfort.
Equally expressive is the Bread & Butter Console Table, its sculptural silhouette inspired by stacks of real sourdough. Carved from stained ash wood with delicate maple inlays, it’s a tactile nod to domestic familiarity, reimagined through Toogood’s sculptural lens.
The collection includes:*Butter Sofa – sectional, velvet-upholstered, sculptural yet grounding
*Bread and Butter Side Tables – available in short and tall variations
*Bread and Butter Console Table – statement storage meets functional art
*Butter Serving Tray – a glazed ceramic piece with rich, buttery depth
In a recent interview with Archiproducts, Toogood reflected on the evolving role of design:
"Is it enough to talk about form and function, or beauty and utility these days? I don’t think so... Design now must consider the human, the environment, and the world."
This ethos is deeply embedded in Bread and Butter—a collection that evokes emotion through material, storytelling, and a reconnection with tactile rituals. It’s design that nourishes, both physically and conceptually.
In a design landscape saturated with speed and sameness, Faye Toogood’s work with Tacchini offers a slower, more meaningful rhythm. It champions materiality, memory, and imagination—key pillars of what The Fluxx sees as the future of furniture design.
