Christopher Peacock began his career in London during the early eighties, working at Terence Conran's furniture store in London. After accepting an offer to work in the US he traveled first to Boston Mass, where he worked as a designer at the Boston Design Center and then continued his career in New York City working as a kitchen designer at the Architects and Design building. He launched Christopher Peacock Cabinetry in 1992, beginning with a single kitchen display inside a small store in Greenwich, CT.
The Refectory collection defines the "modern classic kitchen". Taking inspiration from an English prep school dining hall or "refectory", the combination of hand select quarter sawn oak and hand brushed fitted cabinetry provides character, scale and proportion. The simple stepped detailing, large architectural moldings, and our signature oversized latches combine to suit the modern grand homes of today. It's our take on creating the perfect transitional space.
Christopher Peacock grew up surrounded by British building and carpentry. His Father, Grandfather and several Uncles were all part of the "old school" building trade, where serving a long standing apprenticeship was a necessary part of becoming a fully fledged craftsman. Although never a carpenter himself, Christopher had a passion for drawing and his creative and visual talents forged a lifelong passion for design. He has always believed that he should control the process of making his own cabinetry from beginning to end, never wanting to entrust the process to others.
