Down To Earth

After Kisa Harrison gave birth to her son five years ago, she knew that the family would eventually need to find a new home.

At that time, they were living in a three-bedroom apartment in High Street Centre, in the same building where the office-cum-furniture showroom of luxury furniture label, Christopher Guy, was located.

The company was founded by her late husband, British furniture design master Christopher Guy Harrison, and it is known for its contemporary, elegant furniture featured in movies such as Casino Royale and The Devil Wears Prada, as well as the patented Chris-X (pronounced as 'Chris Cross') design on the legs that was inspired by a ballerina's pose.

"To be honest, I like living in a high-rise apartment building," says the Shanghai-born Harrison, 34. "But it was difficult with a toddler. He was at the age where he had started crawling and attempting to climb everything. I felt that we needed to move to a home that would allow him to do that without it being dangerous." It did not take long for them to find a new home in a ground floor apartment in a luxury condominium complex a stone's throw away from Orchard Road. "I liked that the location is very central, and yet the estate itself is pretty quiet and peaceful," she says.
