Cameron Padfield / FOUNDER + CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Cameron’s earliest involvement in the world of furniture design and manufacturing was in the family business in New Zealand. What was meant to be a temporary foray into engineering products for the hospitality sector, inspired a passion for considered design which endures today.
Arriving in the UK in 2001, he entered what would become a defining period working for royal cabinetmaker and luxury brand, David Linley. It was here that he honed his skills and began to understand what it really meant to create beautiful products without compromise. Following this, Cameron went on to hold senior management and board-level positions with a number of other luxury British brands.
Since 2013 he has lived and worked in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where his eye for detail, natural affinity for quality, and necessary sense of humour have enabled him to develop an impressive vendor network. Having established himself as an efficient operator in the design, development, and execution of furniture for the world’s most discerning clients he now turns his attention to designing products and collaborating with clients from around the world.
