The "Grand Chairs" & Their Artists

Harold Greene has been designing and building furniture for 24 years. His pieces can be found in a variety of settings, both residential and commercial. He recently delivered a Chinese-style cabinet in cypress and lacewood with bronze peony pull to a client in San Pedro, the city he calls home. A large cherry and curly maple display cabinet by Harold graces the lobby of Disney's Grand Californian Hotel, just one of many commissioned works in public spaces in the greater Los Angeles area.

Harold's work was featured on the 2002 season opener of "Modern Masters", HGTV's weekly showcase of craftsmen from all corners of the nation. In the show Harold credits furniture makers of the Arts and Crafts Movement, such as the Greene brothers and the Stickley brothers, as a source of inspiration for his work. "From the very beginning I was drawn to the Craftsman style. I really like showing the joinery in the furniture I build."

Harold's balanced use of fine domestic and exotic woods, his attention to detail, and his command of traditional woodworking techniques make his furniture both functional and beautiful.
