Tool/Toy Project is the shared practice of two Welsh designers, Rachel Jones (social researcher and artist based in Norwich) and Maegan Icke (architect and artist based in London).
As the objects of work and play, tools and toys tell us something about their societies of origin. Using these devices, we tell stories of speculative worlds and reimagined futures.
We explore themes of degrowth, play, domesticity and urban planning with the aim of imagining alternative societal structures that don’t incentivise ecological destruction and social exploitation.
We have previously worked with/been supported by Oslo Architecture Triennale, Barbican Centre, Jerwood Arts, RCA, UCA, UCL, Primeyarc & originalprojects;, KooZA/rch, Birmingham School of Jewellery, the British Sundial Society and the Architects’ Journal.
