As works by designer Faye Toogood go on display as part of ‘Mirror Mirror: Reflections on Design’ at Chatsworth, revisit Vogue’s feature on her Highgate home with partner Matt Gibberd, founder of The Modern House, for the December 2018 issue.
Three young children? In this exquisitely uncluttered house in shades of ivory and clotted cream? Toogood laughs. “I took the approach that if they grew up with it, they’d get used to it. It’s when you remove things and try to put them back that they want to touch it and use it and maybe break it.” Gibberd gestures at the cleverly hidden cupboards that Segal installed throughout the house. “Everything comes out and it’s carnage, and then everything is put away at the end of the day.
Certainly, the overall effect is effortlessly functional but serene, leavened by the sunlight that streams through original Segal-era windows comprising simple, frameless panels of glass that slide in front of each other. Nor is there anything clinical about the minimalism: each room is filled with curiosities.
