Award-winning British designer makes sure it’s ‘Made in America’
Christopher Peacock is in a rare position, being able to say that he has truly left his mark in the homes of two U.S. presidents; his namesake cabinetry can be found in the kitchens of both Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.
The British native has made a name for himself in the U.S. since coming over from London in 1987, first working as a designer at the Boston Design Center, and then in New York where he designed kitchens in the Architects & Designers building. Peacock started his eponymous firm 25 years ago, and it has grown to include seven showrooms in the U.S. as well as two showrooms in Europe – all of which he still owns and operates out of his corporate headquarters in Norwalk, CT as the president and CEO.
In a world where “Made in the USA” is less common, Peacock makes it a point to “proudly” design and manufacture his pieces out of his own U.S. factory. He notes, “I’m a little different in that I completely design and manufacture my own cabinetry. I think we’re a leader in that.” Peacock’s style of cabinetry has been imitated many times over, but his creations are singularly his own.
