Peter Buchanan-Smith founded Best Made Co. in 2009 because he loved making things with his hands and wanted to start a company that would not only celebrate the inherent beauty of timeless, utilitarian tools, but would also inspire people to get out from behind their screens and experience the natural world.


Peter Buchanan-Smith built a successful career as a designer, writer, and entrepreneur before founding Best Made Co. in 2009. He has been an art director at the New York Times, the author of several books, and a creative collaborator with Isaac Mizrahi, Maira Kalman, Wilco, and David Byrne. He lives in Brooklyn.

Review Quote:

"Enlightening . . . very interesting . . . therein lies what was so inspiring about this book: there's so much joy tied into this simple object for the author, a designer who wanted to reconnect with the nature while living in a big city." --Popular Woodworking Magazine
