Our Story
At the ends of the Earth, where the sea breeze lifts albatross to soar into endless blue skies, lay the Falkland Islands. A frontier land where for centuries pioneering souls have relied on self-sufficiency and resilience to build their home.
From this beautiful archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean comes Desire Cabinetry, creating individual pieces of uniquely designed furniture, meticulously crafted to the highest standards using traditional techniques and the finest materials.
Craftsman Darren Christie was trained at the prestigious Chippendale International School of Furniture, and is a member of the Fine Furniture Guild. A qualified furniture designer/maker, cabinet maker and furniture restorer, Darren will work with you through every stage of the creative process to create timeless furniture to suit your own style and requirements.
