Roger + Chris / Press & Media
Good furniture starts with good questions.
Furniture is complicated. We're happy to talk about it.
We design and make custom upholstered furniture in North Carolina, and we have plenty to say about how furniture is built, bought, sold, lived with, and occasionally regretted.
Two perspectives. One furniture company.
Meet Roger and Chris.

About Roger + Chris.
Roger + Chris was founded in 2011, pioneering online, direct-to-consumer custom furniture. With an extraordinary range of styles and sizes, and an industry-leading selection of colors, we focus on crafting distinctive furniture that is as durable as it is beautiful.
Our furniture can be found on every continent (yes, Antarctica too), in dozens of Fortune 500 corporations, and within homes in every state in the nation.
In contrast to most brands, R+C is independent and builds sofas from scratch within our wholly-owned facility. Our factory has manufacted furniture continuously for over half a century.
