Chris Jungbluth is a furniture designer and craftsperson who has been living and working in Madison, WI for over 25 years.
After graduating from UW Madison with a wildlife ecology major, Chris began building furniture in the Madison area. He gained an extensive understanding of materials and joinery techniques working at a family owned roll top desk business as well as multiple architectural millwork companies.
In 2001, Chris was accepted to the College of the Redwoods Fine Woodworking program in California, where he was fortunate to be part of the last class taught by renowned woodworker, James Krenov. While in school, he received the James Krenov scholarship for the furniture he designed in the program and even had one of his rocking chairs published in Fine Woodworking Magazine.
After returning from California, Chris opened Capital Joinery LLC and has been creating custom furniture for individuals and designers in the Madison area and across the United States.
You can find Chris and his dog Fritz at their shop on the Madison’s east side (3223 Burke Ave, Madison,WI). Stop in and say hello!
