Craighill create everyday objects through the use of machines to ease people's lives.

Founded in 2015 by designer Hunter Craighill, we are a design and manufacturing brand rooted in curiosity, ingenuity, and pleasure. 

We know that the world already has too much “stuff” and that you don’t need yet another shiny object. 

That’s why we design our products to be as functional and timeless as they are beautiful and intriguing.

You could say that we work really hard to make it all look and feel so easy, but that super-iterative, detail-obsessed approach to design and manufacturing is only part of the story. 

One of the best parts of owning and enjoying physical objects is that they can move us out of our busy, overworked minds and return us to the sensory pleasures of touching, seeing, and doing. 

There’s also a low-key cosmic connection you have to things that just speak to you. You can’t always name it, but you know it when you feel it. 

We’re not the kind of brand who wants to go on about the “essence of design,” but if we had to sum up our thoughts on the subject we’d say that it’s all about balancing the limitless magic of an object with its tactile, real world functionality. 

Whether you are looking to find a more seductive way to protect and store your glasses, a more beautiful home for your keys, or a sculptural pillow for your wallet, we’re here for you. 
We hope you have as much fun experiencing and enjoying our wares as we do creating them. 

We’re glad you are here. 

Yours,
The Craighill Team

Hey Rohan, so great to read this! Delighted that you're enjoying everything, that EDC Caro Pen is a particular favorite of mine. 

You are not an idiot! Appreciate the feedback on clearer instructions, I'll share with the rest of team and look to clarify for future customers. Thank you. :-)

Much appreciated, glad you're enjoying it!

Hey Joakim! Excellent work on mastering the Jack Puzzle. It's the first puzzle we designed back in 2016, and seeing people approach it with curiosity, then frustration, and ultimately extreme satisfaction is still so enjoyable. I hope you're still enjoying it. Thanks so much for the kind words and feedback! 

Awesome, thanks so much for the support, Asia! 

Hey Nicholas! So happy to hear you've been enjoying your Closed Helix. We're always trying to balance functionality with aesthetic appeal, very pleased to hear it's doing the trick for you.

And I hear you on price. It's not the least expensive keyring, but for something that you use and interact with so much every day, we hope the little moments of delight it brings are worth the extra bit of money. Thanks for your support!


Hey Tasha! "Simple everyday luxury" really nails so much of what we do. I'm happy it connects with you, and yes, we take customer service very seriously!! :-) Thanks for being a customer. 
 

Hey Jesse! I can't tell you how nice it is to read this, knowing that the effort we put into all of these different elements on a daily basis has connected with you in such a clear way. Definitely feeling seen here.

Thank you for your ongoing support, for sharing our work with your friends, and for articulating all of this so clearly for other curious folks. It means a whole lot! 

Really minimal sleek design. I use my key holder everyday. 

Bought a key tray from Craighill years and years ago, love the deep colour and simple elegant design. I've stupidly left some marks in the wood from being too rough with my keys but it adds character and I plan on having it for years to come

Bought the incense holder, love it! Small, sleek, elegant, and functional. Great price and love that it’s a local brand. 

Have had a Craighill twisted brass keychain for three years. It feels like a simple everyday luxury and has stood up to the test of daily wear. When I lost the end screw cap of the keychain, Craighill sent me a replacement, no questions asked- great customer service :)

The quality is unmatched. The moment when you first hold the perfectly machined solid brass in your hand you know that you've come across something special.

I got the Jack Puzzle, which entirely relies on the several pieces of brass fitting perfectly and elegantly together, and needless to say - they do. The puzzle itself is quite difficult, and even after knowing the solution it is still a challenge to put together. I absolutely love it.

I think Craighill items make perfect gifts, especially for guys who might be hard to shop for.

I have Craighill's match striker/holder and gifted their products to several friends. I'm a huge fan. Their designs are distinct and original, while still being high utility. The unboxing and packaging is nice too. 

They've done a good job at having products at nearly any budget that all feel reasonable for the materials and craftsmanship.

The instructions for the twist keychain could have been a bit more thorough, but maybe I was just an idiot 🤷

Bought their EDC pen, the Wilson enameled keychain, and their twist keychaim. Lovely products, built to last. 

Love my closed helix key ring. Very robust design, highly functional, and easier to add/remove keys than a standard ring. The aesthetic is great and while that was a consideration when buying and I've gotten compliments on it from others, I'm glad it not only looks good, but does the job it's designed to do. 

Only reason it's 4/5 not 5 is because $30 for a keyring is a little much but overall worth the money.

Got the Offset Keyring for my partner and he loves it ! It's beautifully and ergonomically designed. 

Not necessarily things you need.. rather things you want.  elevated and beautiful across the board
