Creating stunning French and Hamptons custom furniture is an exciting and creative process. Christophe aims to create pieces that are always elegant, breathtaking and unique.

This adds to the elegance of the custom design. The top of the buffet has out signature style pelmet with top mouldings and ornamentation. This pelmet section crowns the furniture piece and brings the whole structure together. The doors feature Louis 15 style curved recessed panels that mirror each other on each side creating lovely lines and gracious curve effects. These mouldings have been finished in a contrast antique white trim to stand out against the light grey taupe. The custom-made piece of furniture is a statement but also soft and relaxed adding to the homely feeling of the renovated terrace and the beautiful pink stucco wall behind.

This white painted entertainment unit with cabinetry above has been custom designed to blend well with French modern and Hampton style furniture in a coastal apartment. It is painted in plain white to give it that modern fresh feel. It doesn’t feature any of the recessed mouldings or reading or elaborate pelmet cornices like the custom-made furniture pieces above.
