Ordinary Furniture, located in Polk County, North Carolina, is a solo wood shop founded by Derek Hennigar in 1993. With a focus on solid native woods, Hennigar's work combines traditional joinery, carving, and finishing techniques with his own unique design perspective, resulting in pieces that are both one-of-a-kind and part of small series, all crafted to stand the test of time.
As a nod to the history of industrial furniture manufacture in North Carolina, Ordinary Furniture takes its name from the common yet essential act of gathering and cutting wood. Influenced by modern sculpture, wooden boat building, Scandinavian furniture design, and the Appalachian craft tradition, Hennigar's creations showcase his dedication to woodworking and his commitment to honoring the millennia of craftsmanship that came before him.
