Chris Duffy, a graduate of the University of Brighton, began making and designing products in the kitchen of the flat he shared with his friend in north London. After hearing his flatmate complain for the hundreth time that his dinner was covered in sawdust, Duffy moved into a studio in east London, by chance very close to where he was born, and became a genuine firm -- Duffy London -- in 2004.

Duffy creates original canvases and lighting that immediately become distinctive focal points in any room. An unusual way to integrate light and art, these brilliant and imaginative pieces are trompe-l'oeil for the 21st century. The company's product range is forever evolving, fuelled by the artist's obsession to constantly challenge himself and his audience. Duffy is committed to the use of ecologically sound, high-quality materials and low energy bulbs.
