Christopher Guy

Highly styled, beautifully executed, lushly designed! Having designed for some of the finest hotels, cruise ships, and luxury retailers in the world, as well as movie sets, Christopher Guy Harrison embodies refinement and sophistication, fusing classicism with modernism.

The signature end table; the lyrical ampersand form connects the legs with a seamless flourish.

Art Deco inspired, the figure-of-eight dining chair.


Quite the tete-a-tete, with signature Chris-x legs and rattan detailing.

The double door cabinet with mirrored frontage.

Hand-carved mahogany in ribbon form frames the tufted headboard.

Micro-bevelled mirror panes are surrounded by a gilded edge.

"The finest and most enduring designs tend to be simple in their execution." ~ Christopher Guy

The Sun King, Louis XIV, and his glorious Palace of Versailles gave first light to the sunburst mirror. This early 20th c. Italian giltwood version from Alhambra Antiques through 1stdibs.com.

Having once twinkled from the ceiling of a movie theatre in 1920's Lyon, France, it is now shining brightly at Mecox Gardens.Anthropologie brings their rusty-hued iron Medallion Mirror down to earth, so that it may glitter from a console or low table.

Any one of these mirrors would certainly put a twinkle in your eye.
