Craighill is a Brooklyn-based design and manufacturing brand founded in 2015 by designer Hunter Craighill. The company emerged from a shared curiosity between Craighill and his college friend Zach Fried, aiming to create objects that are both functional and visually intriguing. Their first product, the Wilson Keyring, was inspired by a trombone mouthpiece holder, showcasing their commitment to repurposing everyday items into elegant designs.
Craighill’s product line spans various categories, including daily carry items, desk accessories, bar tools, and puzzles. Each product is meticulously crafted, often in collaboration with skilled artisans across the U.S., using materials like brass, stainless steel, and wood. The brand emphasizes a design process that involves extensive prototyping and material exploration, ensuring that every detail enhances both form and function.
With a focus on tactile experiences and timeless aesthetics, Craighill continues to produce objects that elevate everyday routines and inspire a deeper appreciation for well-crafted design.
