Meet Chris Gibson

Sunnyrock is helmed by Chris Gibson, a self-taught furniture maker and conservationist based on Walpole, MA. Chris creates hand crafted furniture designed for everyday use, balancing form and function. Influenced by Scandinavian, Japanese, and mid-century modern traditions, he focuses on clean lines, simple craftsmanship, and a deep respect for the natural material.

The Sunnyrock Mission

Each Sunnyrock piece is thoughtfully handcrafted combining traditional joinery with modern techniques. No two items are the same - each one reflects the unique and natural beauty of wood.

Furniture from big box stores - made with low-quality materials - will eventually end up in a landfill. We aim to move away from disposable goods by designing heirloom-quality pieces that people are proud to own for generations.

We love to give a second life to materials that would otherwise be discarded. Whenever possible, we use responsibly sourced or reclaimed lumber. Materials headed for the chipper - local trees and old church pews - are put back to use, honoring their history.

Honor the past. Protect our future.

Our studio is named in tribute to Sunnyrock Farm - the last working farm in Walpole. While the farm closed in 2012 after a century in operation, our studio carries on its legacy of hard work and respect for the land.

As part of that commitment, we donate a portion of profits to organizations that protect open space, including The Trustees, Mass Audubon, Adams Farm, New England Forestry Foundation, and One Tree Planted.
