Francis welcomed guests including Dame Zaha Hadid and fellow designers Roland Mouret, Lara Bohinc and Charlotte Dellal to David Gill Galleries over two nights to celebrate the launch of his new furniture collection Celia.

Celia was inspired by the palm-fringed beaches of the Balearics, with Francis's use of palm wood and loose weave linens. Further Spanish influences such as Goya and Velasquez can be seen in Francis's use of ox blood red and dark green leathers. As always, Francis has employed signature bronze detailing across the collection.

Following the Private View at David Gill Galleries, Mark's Club hosted a wonderful dinner and guests were delighted with their gift from Francis of a bronze dish from the collection.
