# Playful Geometric Furniture The Batch Series by Faye Toogood is Modern and Minimalist By Meghan Young | Published 2013-03-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batch-series References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/batch-series-by-faye-toogood/) & [fayetoogood](http://www.fayetoogood.com/furniture) The Batch Series highlights the designer's previous tendency to create [one-of-a-kind furniture pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fossil-furniture) that, as a natural result, were utterly exclusive and hard to come by. Making her products more accessible, British designer Faye Toogood is inspired by the concept of batch production, hence its name. A simple influence, the Batch Series complements it with modern minimalist designs that many will appreciate. Comprised of five pieces ranging from tables to chairs, the Batch Series centers around [geometric shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solis-collection) that have been applied in playful ways. The Element Table is particular playful. Its base is made up of a cylinder, sphere and cube that are reminiscent of [wooden childhood toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-eternal-child). The remaining four furniture pieces are modeled after the spade, which happens to be an icon of rural life in the English countryside. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Batch Production:** The Batch Series by Faye Toogood explores the concept of batch production, offering an opportunity for businesses to streamline their manufacturing processes and increase efficiency. - **Geometric Designs:** Playful and geometric designs, like those featured in the Batch Series, present an opportunity for innovative businesses to create visually appealing and unique furniture pieces. - **Minimalist Furniture:** The Batch Series embraces minimalism, allowing businesses to tap into the growing demand for sleek and modern furniture designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The Batch Series presents an opportunity for furniture manufacturers to incorporate batch production methods and create visually engaging furniture pieces. - **Interior Design:** The use of geometric designs and minimalism in the Batch Series can inspire interior designers to create modern and playful spaces. - **Toy Manufacturing:** The playful and geometric design elements of the Batch Series can inspire toy manufacturers to incorporate similar elements into their products for a unique and visually stimulating play experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Baking-Inspired Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bread-butter.md) - [Toy Block-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloc-collection.md) - [Playful Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-co.md) - [Minimal Collaborative Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ash-furniture.md) - [Wood-Centric Simple Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collective-collection.md) - [Modular Beam-Themed Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beam-collection.md) - [Simplistic Line-Formed Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptures-furniture.md) - [Chic Norm-Challenging Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wiggle-collection.md) - [Playfully Plush Collaborative Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squash-collection.md)
