Christina Boy
Christina Boy Design is a one-woman woodworking studio at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Madison County, Virginia. Here, original pieces are made from locally sourced domestic wood, using both traditional and modern woodworking techniques.
Aside from one-of-a-kind pieces and small batch production items, Christina also works with clients one-on-one to create custom furniture pieces for their homes. Her work is inspired by the clean, straightforward design of the Bauhaus era and early- to mid-century modern Scandinavia. The clean, straight lines of a table or bench are often juxtaposed with a funky edge, bright color, or a dynamic diagonal detail.
Christina combines these modern lines with patterns, textures, and colors that are heavily influenced by the rolling hills, hayfields, and weathered farm buildings all around her. A lot of the textures are created on the bandsaw or with carving tools. They are then painted with multiple layers of milk paint and sanded/distressed to reveal the textures below, with the layers of paint lending visual depth. She also adds texture by combining wood with other materials, such as rope or leather strapping woven into a seat or back.
Close attention is paid to every detail in crafting fun and meaningful pieces that Christina hopes will be in families for many generations.
