Neil
O’Brien

Neil founded Corinthian in 1994 and still leads each commission from the first conversation through to fitting.

One practice, closely led.

Neil founded Corinthian at Little Crosby in 1994. New commissions and conservation work have developed a practical understanding of timber, proportion, construction and finish that reaches beyond the object to the entire room.

Restoration informs new work.

Neil is a member of BAFRA. Restoration is not a separate tradition at Corinthian: it informs how every new drawer, joint and surface is expected to move, age and be maintained.
