Profile

Celina Dalrymple of ffabb Home, is a distinguished furniture designer and upholsterer whose career spans over two decades. Her passion for crafting high-quality, comfortable, and timeless furniture pieces began at the young age of 10 in her mother’s upholstery shop on Vancouver Island. By 18, she had already launched her own business, Fabulous Furnishing and Upholstery, in Vancouver, starting to build on her reputation as one of Western Canada’s top upholsterers and furniture makers.

Celina’s design philosophy is rooted in her firsthand experience with the pitfalls of “fast furniture.” After years of repairing poorly constructed pieces, she envisioned creating furniture that bridges the gap between high-end custom designs and disposable, mass-produced items. The result is ffabb—a collection that combines durability with style, ensuring each piece can withstand the beautiful messes of life and be cherished for generations.

Celina’s talent and dedication have earned her the trust of top designers across North America. Her company, ffabb, has become a go-to choice for high-end designers who want custom furniture that perfectly blends artistry, functionality and most importantly, comfort.

For Celina, comfort never takes a backseat to style. She designs each piece to support the body, making sure it caters to the relaxed, laid-back lifestyle she cherishes. Her designs are tailor-made for west coast living.

Celina's laid-back West Coast personality shines through in her designs. She cherishes the comfort of well-crafted furniture that feels effortlessly at home. These pieces are designed to support you, allowing your mind to drift to more inspiring thoughts.

Her ongoing project—a rural retreat at Gun Lake—reflects her love for organic, grassroots design processes. Just as she brings together elements to create a harmonious living space, she infuses her furniture with a sense of cohesiveness and comfort.

Celina's furniture collection gained US representation through Salon, a New York-based retailer and showroom, and her work has extensively publicized in Architectural Digest, AD Italia, Harper's Bazaar Interiors, Denizen Modern Living, House and Home, Western Living, and Elle Decor.

Celina understands the importance of a relaxing home environment and is passionate about ensuring her customers can unwind comfortably in their spaces. Her attention to detail and commitment to quality mean that every piece from ffabb is designed with the user’s ultimate comfort in mind.
