Chris Horney

Since 1997, I have dedicated myself to crafting handcrafted furniture in Greensboro, NC, where my work is distinguished by clean lines, ideal proportions, and intricate embellishments such as inlays and carvings. My approach combines classic joinery techniques with a commitment to excellence, ensuring each piece reflects both tradition and innovation. While drawing inspiration from traditional forms, my original designs incorporate mixed woods and non-traditional materials to maintain a fresh perspective. Over the years, my work has evolved from reproduction-oriented pieces to more delicate styles, ultimately finding a unique design voice that balances subtle textures, simplified lines, and strategic ornate details.

I specialize in custom commissions for clients and interior designers locally and nationally, while also offering original designs in small production runs. My portfolio includes built-in cabinetry, wine and drink cabinets, and collaborations with galleries and craft shows, including the American Craft Council and Smithsonian Craft Show. Represented by New Morning Gallery in Asheville and Red Sky Gallery in Charlotte, I remain an active member of North Carolina craft guilds, continually exploring new creative intersections like integrating paintings into furniture pieces.
