A New Era of
Craftsmanship
Brought to life by Charles Lee
Charles’ journey began in 1999 in Malaysia, where he immersed himself in the world of timber– studying its form, character, and spirit until he mastered the timeless art of woodworking.
Guided by an unwavering belief in preserving the integrity of tradition, he works with age-old woodworking techniques such as finger joints for joinery.
Each Backley piece carries a depth and character that only handcrafting can impart; and Charles’ woodworking elevates furniture from mere furnishings into cherished heirlooms.
Mid-Century Modern,
Reimagined
Influenced by the Mid-Century Modern movement, Charles’ designs are soulful, sculptural, and intentional. They are created not just to fit within your space, but to define it.
This movement celebrates purpose-driven beauty; where every form follows a need and every curve earns its place.
In a world that confuses luxury with excess, Mid-Century Modern reminds us that true sophistication lies in understatement.
Backley’s mid-century dining table ‘Retro Elegance’ is a stark reminder that true craftsmanship can be experienced; and not just seen and felt.

Your Vision,
Handcrafted by Us
Backley pieces are made to adapt to your distinctive taste and unique requirements. We weave your vision with our expertise to create refined works of functional art.
Charles often experiments with unconventional materials while retaining Backley’s signature finesse. The copper-adorned wooden cabinet is a stellar example of his agility. The ruddy warmth of copper paired with the earthy richness of French Oak – that could easily have felt heavy or dated – achieves a striking yet elegant balance.
