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.
His work exclusively uses fallen British grown timber from as local to his workshop as possible. With this emphasis on sustainability Sandy's work celebrates natural imperfections to reconnect clients with the natural properties that make timber so unique.
