A journey started a decade ago….inspired by the desire to transform and evolve the concept of furniture. Brother and sister team, Constantine and Christina (C&C), saw a need to bring back the original British Chesterfield. Through the traditional line with its overstuffed silhouette and masculine attitude, Chesterfield has generally evoked a sense of old-fashioned sophistication.

[Origin: 1885–90; named after an Earl of Chesterfield in the 19th century]

Specialty sofa with upright armrests at the same height at the back, usually upholstered in leather and with a rollover outward curve along the top. A Chesterfield sofa was created in the mid-eighteenth century in honor of Philip Dormer Stanhope, the fourth Earl of Chesterfield. (1694-1773)

               “Style is the dress of thoughts.”

In 2004, influenced by their engineering and architectural backgrounds, C&C developed a new collection, ChesterfieldNYC. By merging the timeless sophistication of Chesterfield with Christina’s modern design sensibility, they are at once preserving history and bringing it into the twenty-first century.
