The Team
At Carolina Living (Carolina Chair & Table), our team is the heart of everything we do. With deep roots in High Point, North Carolina — the furniture capital of the world — we combine decades of experience in design, manufacturing, sourcing, and customer care to deliver modern furniture that offers sophisticated style, quality craftsmanship, and exceptional value.
Leadership
The company was founded by Edward Greene, whose vision and entrepreneurial spirit established the foundation of Carolina Chair & Table. His dedication built a company that continues to thrive today.
Following Edward’s passing in 2022, Brian Bunch, a respected High Point businessman and veteran of the fabric industry, stepped in as President. With an education from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Dartmouth MBA, Brian strengthened the company by re-establishing our mission, core values, and operational systems — including the development of this website.
Today, the company continues its next chapter under the leadership of Liz Benbow and David Greene, both of whom were closely mentored by Brian. Their combined expertise guides Carolina Living’s commitment to beautiful, livable modern design and outstanding service to our retail and design partners.
Liz Benbow Director of Operations
Liz brings a wealth of industry knowledge, strategic insight, and a passion for operational excellence. With a strong background in accounting, she’s integral in just about everything we do. Liz is dedicated to preserving the tight-knitted culture of the company while driving growth and innovation in our product offerings.
David Greene Product Information Manager
David Greene, son of founder Edward Greene, carries forward the family legacy with deep personal passion and hands-on experience. Armed with a BSBA in Finance from High Point University, he oversees product data accuracy, detailed specifications, photography, and digital content across all collections. David is passionate about ensuring our customers and retail partners have clear, compelling, and up-to-date information so they can confidently select and sell Carolina Living furniture. His focus on product storytelling and digital presentation helps bring our modern designs to life for retailers, designers, and end consumers.
