Houston designer with both Texas A&M and UT credentials launches new midcentury furniture collection with Chaddock
Houston interior designer Benjamin Johnston of Benjamin Johnston Design has a new collection of furniture with Chaddock Furniture Workroom. His pieces are modern interpretations of neoclassical forms with midcentury influences. This photo shows a Giada chair paired with the scalloped-front Antonia desk.
While he’s worked as an interior designer for two decades, he opened his Benjamin Johnston Design firm just seven years ago. In the past few years, he tripled his staff to 15 people and expanded his firm’s services to include full home design — exteriors and interiors. I’d told them that I love what they stand for … but there aren’t enough SKUs for me to pick from. From that came the notion that I would design a collection and pitch it to them. I did that over winter break two years ago.I designed sketches and drawings for 80 items, but they didn’t get to developing engineering or prototypes until spring 2022. Then I began in earnest on the fabric and rug collections probably in December of last year.
Q: When I look at the pieces in your collection and the vignettes from High Point, I feel like I’m not just looking at more furniture but at things I haven’t seen before – pieces that are fresh and new. Tell me about some of your favorite pieces and your inspiration.We’re not always blessed to have great architecture in a room, beautiful windows or a fireplace to work around.
