Design excellence and uncompromising quality are
at the heart of the Christopher Guy philosophy. The
Mademoiselle Collection features home furnishings
and accent pieces, designed by Christopher, and
lavishly sculpted by master carvers in a symphony of
silhouettes, styles and finishes, combining exquisite
craftsmanship, attention to detail and carefully
selected materials.
A procession of rain-trees adorns the entrance drive
of this truly unique one million square foot workshop
complex dedicated to Christopher Guy designs.
Teak footbridges lead through the fortress style
building, its walls in faded ochre with a multitude
of dramatic limestone doorways. Deep within the
estate, a charming bell-tower can be found and a
hugely impressive amphitheater, centered with an
extraordinary natural pond complete with Koi fish and
waterlilies with large round floating leaves. Created as
the perfect environment for our craftsmen to be further
inspired during their moments of reflection.
Many of those who first set eyes on the site believe
it to be a vast, centuries-old Mediterranean Moorish
style Alhambra, but hundreds of stonemasons,
carpenters and painters painstakingly applied their
age-old techniques to create these vast workshops,
designed by Christopher Guy Harrison himself.
Fashioned to capture the sense of mystique and drama
so prevalent in the CG collections, it is immediately
clear that something truly special is hand-crafted
from within. Behind the seemingly ancient grand
walls, this gracious edifice houses a state-of-the-art
manufacturing facility, providing a fascinating contrast
between the exterior and the thriving modern facilities
it protects.
Today, over two thousand master craftsmen are
employed within two CG facilities to create the
spectacular portfolio of unique furnishings. This is
where the Mademoiselle Collection is brought to life,
lovingly crafted and finished, ready to grace the most
discerning residences and venues around the globe.
