A CONVERSATION ON MEANINGFUL DESIGN WITH CRAIGHILL

To celebrate the launch of Craighill’s Holiday Pop-Up at The Center of Order and Experimentation, Craighill Co-Founder and CEO Zach Fried and Design Manager Kevin Chee are flying to Chicago for this intimate design talk.

Taking place in the Martha Mae Studio, nestled above The Center, Zach and Kevin will be in conversation about meaningful design, creating intriguing timeless products, and their detail-obsessed approach to testing and manufacturing. Guests will be able to ask questions and chat with Zach and Kevin about their approach to design, business, and collaboration.

Founded in 2015 by designer Hunter Craighill, Craighill is a design and manufacturing brand based in Brooklyn rooted in curiosity, ingenuity, and satisfaction. They balancing the limitless magic of an object with tactile, real world functionality. From minimal key rings and ergonomic knives to sommelier-designed wine keys and vinyl-dipped scissors, the Craighill design catalog is robust, playful, and intentional.

• Craighill Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Zach has been part of the fabric of Craighill since the beginning. Under his guidance, Craighill has grown from two guys shaping metal in a room into an internationally recognized force of intentional, everyday design goods.
• Design Manager and Craighill Instagram sensation, Kevin Chee has helped shape the brand’s visual language through countless product designs since 2021. With previous experience in the architectural and furniture worlds — spending time on both the factory floor and in the sales showroom — Kevin naturally bridges the gap between design and business.
