Fort Standard is a contemporary design studio and manufacturer founded in 2011 by Gregory Buntain. Based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, the company operates as an in-house manufacturer, designing and producing its own line of furniture, lighting, and home goods. They control every aspect of production in their made-to-order facility.
The studio's work focuses on simplicity, functionality, and the interplay of natural materials like wood, stone, and leather. Each piece is designed with a material permanence intended to last for generations. This philosophy is evident in core collections such as Strata, Column, and Cooperage, which showcase the brand's refined and thoughtful approach.
All furniture is handmade in the Brooklyn studio. Fort Standard partners with stone suppliers from the United States, Italy, and Brazil to source high-quality materials. This commitment to craft and material exploration results in objects that balance utility with an understated elegance.
