15 years ago Philip led the way in contextualising contemporary African design, creating an iconic range of hardwood furniture that is still in vogue today. Philip's influences range from tribal African sculptures to the legendary explorer, entrepreneur and architect, Jim Thompson of the Thai Silk Company.
Philip's handwriting includes carved hardwood, chrome and mirrored surfaces against a foil of luxurious fabrics. His bespoke furniture pieces ensure a complete synergy for all CHD projects which are as diverse as trendy nightclubs and secluded luxury lodges in distant African lands.
