A passion for considered craftmanship with Sandy Buchanan

Johnson Tiles

Welcome to Johnson Tiles’ new podcast Design RE:Source. The series kicks off in conversation with bespoke furniture designer-maker, Sandy Buchanan.
 
Based in Beckenham, SE London, Sandy left a 10-year career in the oil and gas sector in pursuit of meaningful work. Influenced by a childhood spent in Hong Kong, his ethos centres around his choice of materials. His passion for sustainable and considered design led him to work with timber, a belief he shares openly with his clients. Talking clients through the origins of the materials he chooses for them is key to his work.
 
We talk about the challenges he faced through lockdown, and the strength of community and network in helping to build a sustainable, purpose-driven business.
