Founded by Haya Hizami & Isabella Townsley, Assieds-Toii is a new brand that playfully merges fashion and interior design. Both with fashion backgrounds—Haya at Parsons New School of Design in NYC and Isabella at Camberwell—the two friends decided to transfer their passion and knowledge into the world of interiors. By pushing the boundaries of functionality with their distinctive style, they add a fresh twist to interiors while keeping up with trends from fashion, thus offering the best of both worlds.
Haya and Isabella believe in creating spaces that captivate and inspire, blending vibrant hues with much-loved neutral tones to achieve a perfect balance. This approach allows them to design pieces that are both visually stimulating and soothing, providing a harmonious and inviting atmosphere.
Handmade in the UK, the Mushroom Stool is one of the brand’s most iconic pieces. A perfect balance of practicality and minimal design, it adapts seamlessly to any space in the home.
