Meet the founders behind BEST Studio + Workshop.

Founded by Will Reynolds and Tate Sutter, BEST is a Chattanooga-based multidisciplinary design and fabrication studio combining woodworking, design, and digital fabrication to create thoughtfully crafted furniture, household objects, retail spaces, and collaborative projects.

As Will and Tate prepare to graduate from the INCubator program in August, they reflect on their creative partnership, their approach to carpentry and collaboration, and the journey of building a business rooted in quality, functionality, and community.

We are grateful to have had BEST Studio + Workshop as part of the INCubator community and look forward to seeing what they create next.

Explore their work, follow their journey, or inquire about a collaboration at whatsbest.studio.
