HONNING is a Chicago-based design studio that creates an exclusive modern furniture collection for residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces. The designs combine artisanal craft with influences from Shaker, French modernism, and Scandinavian aesthetics, aiming for pieces that endure over time. The business traces back to 1998 when Maxine Snider founded the company as Maxine Snider Inc.; after selling the firm in 2019, Buckley took on a mentorship role. In 2023, to mark its 25th anniversary and broaden its scope, the company renamed itself HONNING to reflect multiple design voices and ongoing stewardship. Today, HONNING produces work from two designers—original pieces by the founder and exclusive designs by Bridgette Buckley—and is based in Chicago, Illinois.
