About Us
ABOUT US
Christopher Duffy founded Duffy London in 2002 while working as a part-time furniture buyer after graduating from the University of Brighton with a BA in Product Design. Having grown out of the kitchen some time ago, Chris and the Duffy London team are now based out of a studio in Victoria Dock. East London.
Our furniture designs are ideas-based, combining art and function, and playing with the concepts of gravity, geography and optical illusion. Chris works with a talented team of designers, artisans, and manufacturers to turn these concepts into high-quality pieces of luxury, bespoke furniture, and artistic sculpture.
All our pieces are handmade to order here in the London studio by a skilled team of craftspeople using sustainable woods from sustainably managed forests and other eco-friendly materials and mediums.
Works are divided into six main collections - Abyss, Solo Megalith, Up! Balloon, Swing and Meeting Pod. In 2019, a limited edition of the Abyss Table was acquired by the Musée des Arts Décoratifs at The Louvre in Paris to become part of the permanent National collection.
Chris's works have featured at Art Basel, Art Miami and 100% Design London. In 2016 Duffy London was partner for the PAD London 20th Century Design & Decorative Arts Fair. Pieces have been acquired by Sylvester Stallone, Prince, and Miley Cyrus, and companies including Google, Hudson Yards and Four Season's Hotels.
Chris and the studio are constantly exploring new mediums along with the latest cutting-edge techniques, as part of their ongoing mission to apply innovative modern design to the world of furniture and sculpture.
