The infusion of creative craftsmanship, functionality and beauty are the hallmark components of Quinn Peaks’ parade of quality furniture works.

Talk of the curve of a back-rest, the twist of a leg or the angle of seats that reflects the state of mind of the designer and skillfulness of a carpenter and you won’t stop talking and enjoying the hands-on support.  Quinn Peaks furniture designer Carlos Nathwani takes a lead role in this initiative, and gives guidance to colleagues at the expansive workshop off Mombasa at the Maasai Road turn-off.

“My passion is to create and actually make elegant and comfortable furniture within every quarter, that can tell stories of the society we live in,” says Nathwani.

Under the grasp of his skillful hands and dedication to creativity is also the fundamental aspect of conserving environment. He notes that Kenya has great opportunity to build environmentally-friendly furniture using reclaimed hardwoods and sustainable harvested timber.
