Recognized internationally for its keen and sensitive approach to craftsmanship, the school will feature exceptional works of furniture from the first semester of its 9-month program.

Furniture making is a discipline increasingly defined by computers, machines, and a speed-of-production ethos. By sharp contrast, the Krenov School offers a deeply thoughtful and intimate approach to form, material, and tactility. The mundane interactions with furniture that often go unconsidered are elevated here: The simple act of opening a drawer or closing a cabinet door is imbued with detail that you may not be able to see or articulate, but which you can feel. The pieces produced here convey warmth and an element of sweetness, both of which are hallmarks of the work of the school's founder and namesake, James Krenov.
Each year, 23 people from all over the world come to Fort Bragg to train in this special environment. The school attracts students from a variety of professional disciplines — from architects, engineers, designers and carpenters to veterinarians, sculptors, teachers and tradespeople. The diversity of each class is reflected in the work produced, with projects that range from classic Krenovian cabinets to original chair designs to work that challenges conventional forms and categories.
