Chris began his furniture business with a self-taught skill set but quickly realize he’d need some professional training to produce the quality pieces he wanted. Chris enrolled in the prestigious art school Anderson Ranch to refine his tecniques. There, he learned to work with hand tools like the cabinetmakers of old. He also taught himself to work with metal, enabling him to fabricate custom hardware and accent pieces for the furniture he makes.

Upon receiving one of his pieces, clients are often surprised find that Chris has added a secret compartment or engineered hidden magnetic locking systems to open a concealed drawer or cabinet. He says that he uses every bit of space a piece has to offer. The result is furniture that is more than meets the eye.

Today his pieces are among the highest quality money can buy. Each is designed to meet the specific needs of his clients using the finest materials and heirloom construction. Though his works should be considered art, he spends a good amount of time visualizing the use of the piece and the environment it will live in. His goal is to make his furniture an artistic and functional part of his clients’ lives.
