Clive Christian

Clive Christian (born 12 July 1951)^[1] is a British designer best known for his designer kitchens^[2] and his creation of Clive Christian No. 1, the world's most expensive perfume.^[3][4]

The eldest of four children born to a biochemist father and an artist mother, Christian was born in Dundee, Scotland and raised and educated in Cheshire, England. Upon leaving college, he embarked on a career as a freelance interior designer.^[4]

Clive Christian Furniture was founded in 1978 when Christian bought a manor house in Cheshire built in the late 19th century and began to renovate it with bespoke furniture. The first design released was his Victorian Kitchen.^[5] When demand for his designs increased he bought a factory and started to create personal designs for his customers.
