My journey began at 21, when I left the UK for Asia — a decision that would shape every chapter that followed. I lived in pre-handover Hong Kong, spent time in Myanmar as one of the first Westerners to live there, and later moved to Singapore with my young family. Today, I’m based in Bali, a place that continues to inspire my work with its colour, craft, and cultural depth.

Over the past 37 years, I’ve worked globally — designing and producing furniture for the luxury hospitality sector and consulting as an art advisor for world-renowned hotels, including Four Seasons, Park Hyatt, and Mandarin Oriental.

Charles Orchard Furniture is the culmination of this experience: a collection that brings together bold form, confident colour, and a distinctly global perspective. Every piece reflects my commitment to craftsmanship, originality, and the belief that furniture should do more than serve a function — it should make a statement.

Each design is created to stand out.

Not just to fill a space — but to define it.
