David Anderson
Company Name: CADA Design Group
Job Title: Co-Founder
Speaker profile:
Having started his career in the early eighties at top furniture designers such as Race, Tecno, The Italian Furniture Specialist, and OMK Design, David Anderson has worked on a huge breadth of design projects.
David Anderson and David Callcott formed CADA Design Group in the early nineties in response to a market demand for proprietor-led multi-disciplinary design consultancies. During the early phase of the company’s history, the partners formed another company - Healthgate Limited (British Health Enterprises) - a PFI business developed for the purpose of providing retail and food outlets in hospital concourses. As a consequence, CADA Design Group designed the first PFI project in the UK at The Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham. The twenty five years have seen CADA Design Group design and implement a diversity of projects including Harrods (London) Food Halls, Harvey Nichols (London) Boutique Floor and Menswear and the master planning of the Liberty Store (London).
In 2000 David was elected as a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a fellow of the Chartered Society of Design.
The past ten years have seen CADA’s portfolio shift to one almost exclusively focused on food retail, catering and hospitality. As an organisation CADA’s portfolio comprises clients such as Pret A Manger, Caffè Italia, Itsu, Dean & Deluca, Roast, Camus Cafe, TRG, Chop’d, Krispy Kreme and Alshaya. David is currently working on a series of food based initiatives for Galeries Lafayette both in Europe and the Middle East.
