Toogood’s ‘Lie Low’ bed

Faye Toogood has added a bed to her Poltrona Frau partnership, unveiling the “Lie Low” at Milan Design Week ahead of Salone del Mobile 2026. (wallpaper.com) Wallpaper* reported on April 13 that the piece comes with a matching bedside table and is being presented as the next chapter after Toogood’s 2024 debut for the Italian furniture maker. (wallpaper.com) The fair itself runs April 21 to April 26, 2026, at the Milan fairgrounds in Rho, with Salone del Mobile calling it the 64th edition of the event. (salonemilano.it) The bed extends a collaboration that started with “Squash,” a 2024 collection of an armchair, ottoman, side table, rugs and mirrors that Poltrona Frau and Toogood framed around softness and sculptural upholstery. (t-o-o-g-o-o-d.com) (poltronafrau.com) That earlier collection kept circulating after Milan: Poltrona Frau installed “A Squashed Space” at the London Design Festival in September 2024 to showcase the range in its Fulham Road flagship. (poltronafrau.com) For Lie Low, Wallpaper* said Toogood kept the padded, rounded language but pushed it into the bedroom, with a sculptural headboard and leather treated to wrinkle and gather instead of being pulled taut. (wallpaper.com) Toogood told Wallpaper* she has worked with Poltrona Frau’s artisans “for a couple of years now” and wanted the leather on Lie Low to look “wrinkled,” with “movement and malleability.” (wallpaper.com) That approach fits Toogood’s wider practice. Poltrona Frau describes the British designer as a multidisciplinary figure who founded her London studio in 2008 after eight years as interiors editor at *The World of Interiors*. (poltronafrau.com) Poltrona Frau has leaned on that mix of sculpture and leather craft before. In the 2024 “Squash” launch materials, Toogood said a visit to the company’s Tolentino factory and archive helped shape the work, including her interest in wrinkled leather and bold archive references. (t-o-o-g-o-o-d.com) So Lie Low lands as a continuation rather than a one-off: the same designer, the same leather house, and now a bed that shifts their soft, cocooning language from lounge seating to sleep.
