Christopher Guy, each piece is emotion
Christopher Guy is much more than a name: it's a vision of beauty. Each object, each piece enriches Pacific Compagnie's catalog of luxurious and refined home decor.
It all began in 1988, when Christopher Guy Harrison, a young British designer with impeccable taste, dreamed of furniture free from time, with a universal elegance capable of transcending fashions and continents.
His initiatory journey took him to Java, Indonesia, where he discovered two wonders: Indonesian mahogany, a noble wood with deep reflections, and an ancestral craft passed down from hand to hand for generations. These two treasures would become the raw material and soul of Christopher Guy.
From this encounter, CG Atelier was born—a sanctuary of gesture and material, where artisanal expertise is expressed with the precision of jewelry. Here, each creation is crafted by hand, slowly and patiently, like a work of art.
Sculpted mirrors, inlaid mosaics, upholstered seats, lacquered or patinated reflections: every detail is a visual caress, every curve a promise of balance. The iconic mahogany wood interacts with exceptional materials—crystal, silk, brass, velvet—to create a world that is both sumptuous and timeless. Christopher Guy's philosophy is based on one idea: furniture is not an object, it's an emotion. Each piece translates a tangible dream, born from the encounter between the craftsman's gesture, the designer's eye, and the poetry of the material.
The lines are graceful, fluid, and sensual; light is delicately reflected; the finishes tell of the passage of time and the love of a job well done.
Christopher Guy doesn't follow trends: he transcends them.
His creations become contemporary classics, designed to last, inspire and enhance the most demanding interiors - bearers of prestige, soul and a refinement that is felt as much as it is seen.
Pacific Compagnie presents its five Christopher Guy favorites
Aster Mirror
The Aster mirror captures light like a work of art captures the eye. Its radiant structure, hand-carved from wood and then delicately gilded or silvered, evokes the brilliance of a stylized sun. Each facet seems animated by movement, playing with the light to create an aura that is both luminous and theatrical.
A symbol of elegance according to Christopher Guy, Aster embodies that timeless refinement where the decorative object becomes a wall jewel—a burst of poetry and prestige that illuminates any interior.

Coffee Table Parisian Grafitti
The Parisian Graffiti table is a declaration of love for French elegance. Inspired by the creative energy of Paris—its boulevards, its workshops, its sculpted facades—it reflects the free and refined spirit that drives the Christopher Guy house.
Its sculptural base, a true artistic signature, appears drawn in a single fluid stroke, like stylized graffiti transformed into material. This spectacular, handcrafted base supports a delicately polished top, whose surface reflects the light with subtle depth. The ensemble evokes both graceful gesture and rigorous form: a perfect balance between boldness and timeless elegance.
Each Parisian Graffiti table is a work of art in its own right, crafted by the artisans of the CG Atelier. Its finishes—deep lacquers, gilding, or patinated shades—reveal a masterful craftsmanship, true to Christopher Guy's philosophy: to create pieces that transcend function to achieve the status of art. A symbol of Parisian chic revisited by the designer's British eye, Parisian Graffiti transforms the dining room into a space of expression, where beauty becomes conversation and matter, emotion.

Sofa Aravena
The Aravena sofa embodies the quintessence of contemporary luxury, according to Christopher Guy: a perfect blend of architecture, comfort, and sensuality. Inspired by the modernist vision of the great Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena, it plays on the contrasts between structured lines and enveloping softness. Its sculptural structure, with perfectly mastered proportions, seems to float above the floor, while its deep seats and soft cushions invite relaxation with nonchalant elegance.
Upholstered in sumptuous fabrics—silky velvet, textured linen, or full-grain leather—Aravena expresses rigorous design and voluptuous touch. The refined details, precise stitching, and hand-finished details reflect the high standards of the CG Atelier, where each piece is crafted as a unique work.
The Aravena sofa thus stands out as an inhabited sculpture, a creation where design becomes emotion. He embodies the Christopher Guy philosophy: creating furniture that speaks to the eye as much as to the soul, where structural beauty meets absolute comfort.

Table Lamp Midus
The Midus lamp is a celebration of light as a noble material. True to Christopher Guy's aesthetic, it transcends mere function to become an object of desire, a jewel of light that combines grace, brilliance, and craftsmanship.
Its sculptural base, inspired by classical columns, blends architectural rigor with sensual curves. The polished metal, sometimes gilded, sometimes patinated, reflects the light with subtle intensity, while the lampshade diffuses a soft, almost textile-like brightness, enveloping the space in a cozy and precious atmosphere.
Each Midus lamp is handcrafted in the CG Atelier workshops, where the artistry of metalwork and delicate finishes give birth to a signature piece, an emblem of contemporary luxury. It doesn't just illuminate: it sculpts the light, creating a halo of refinement and warmth—a presence that is both sculptural and poetic.

Dresser Dune
The Dune sideboard is a piece of great character, at the crossroads of sculpture and interior design. Its undulating facade, inspired by the movement of sand dunes, evokes the changing beauty of nature shaped by the wind. Under Christopher Guy's hand, this inspiration becomes a living material, carved, polished, and caressed, achieving a perfect harmony between rigor and sensuality.
Crafted from precious wood, the Dune sideboard seduces with the fluidity of its lines and the depth of its finishes, whether lacquered, patinated, or metallic. Behind its sculptural allure lie generous volumes, designed with the same precision as the exterior facade.
A symbol of Christopher Guy's art of contrast—power and delicacy, function and emotion—Dune transcends furniture to become an object of contemplation. Each sideboard, handcrafted at the CG Atelier, bears the mark of the craftsmanship: a silent, luxurious, and timeless work.
