Sand buchanan

Sandy or Sand to his friends and family is a bespoke furniture designer-maker based in Beckenham, SE London.

Previous to setting up Sand Buchanan , Sandy had a 10 year career in the Oil & Gas E&P sector working around the world as a Geoscientist. He holds a BSc and MSc in Geoscience.

After several redundancies, a general dislike for big corporate politics and a growing unease about what the sector was doing Sandy turned to making and craft in the pursuit of meaningful work.

The work is influenced by a childhood growing up in Hong Kong, the Chinese and Japanese appreciation and heritage of woodworking and his choice of material. The pieces are created to be used, produced skilfully and considerately allowing natures beauty to be revealed and enjoyed.
