The Anna Liffey collection is characterized by a delicate "x" that repeats itself in a linear pattern. The end result is a design that has enormous delicacy and finesse. In its smaller version it appears like a fretwork or frill.

The design was inspired by a set of Irish "fork back" dining chairs that Charles discovered in the mill house of his family's Irish flour milling business, founded by his great, great grandfather in 1776. Anna Liffey was the name of the mill that sits on the River Liffey which flows from the mill for seven miles to the center of Dublin.
