From early age intrigue in engineering and craft, Christopher Duffy has evolved his intuitive desire to make into an art-furniture powerhouse, capturing the zeitgeist of modern contemporary design and future-thinking techniques.
Our designs are first conceptual, combining art with functionality, while playing with themes of force and motion, space and places, and our own perception. As Chief Designer, Christopher Duffy keeps close a talented team of designers, artisans, and manufactures to turn these concepts into luxurious and sculptural art furniture pieces.
Each piece is part of a limited collection, and individually handmade in our London Docklands studio.
Duffy pieces have been showcased at Art Basel, Art Miami, 100% Design, PAD London, and Clerkenwell Design Week to name a few. And have been acquired by The Louvre, Sylvester Stallone, Prince, and Miley Cyrus, along with companies including Google, Hudson Yards, and Four Seasons Hotels.
