I'm Brian Bailie
My family has been creating furniture in Ireland since about 1845.

I'm probably best known for my children's furniture after I designed the fastest-selling suite of furniture for Harrods department store, one of several of my suites that have enjoyed international success.

I was elected a member of the Chartered Society of Designers, and a professional member of the American Society of Furniture Designers, (so I guess they think I know what I'm doing).

About ten years ago I established DUH Ltd, a production company in China which I own with a couple of great business associates from Texas.
And that's where my factory-produced kid's furniture has been manufactured for global export, (though we do a lot of other stuff as well).

Nowadays I just make bespoke furniture for private clients, like this big beautiful turned solid ash bed, which I created in the style of the Toy Story bed, (in case you're wondering, this bed sells for about GBP£2,000). Click on the picture for a better look.

I don't know if the family tradition of cabinetmaking will extend another generation, maybe. My eldest son is very creative on paper; so if you need a freelance illustrator check him out.
