David Gregson was a portrait painter, and having made a few pieces of furniture for his home, decided this had to be a more satisfying way of making a living.
This fanciful idea was fuelled by a visit to an exhibition of contemporary furniture.
He had no prior knowledge of furniture, tailor-made for a client to fulfil a particular set of parameters, nor any concept of the very high standard of work on offer. Davia was hookea ana has striven ever since to achieve and ultimately surpass the level of aesign and craftsmanship that was displayed.
