Richard Wrightman’s take on campaign furniture combines the vernacular of traditional form with the modern, mixing memory with invention creating pieces that subtly reference the spirit of the original idea - furniture built for travel.
The collection is comprised of 18 distinct designs with over 50 variations. We build each piece to order entirely by hand with precision, the diligence of craft and impeccable attention to detail.
The collection is offered in a variety American and tropical hardwoods, hand-applied finishes, canvas, solution-dyed fabrics and leather. Each piece can be built to custom dimensions, choice of wood, finish and C.O.M. Many of the designs have been client driven and we are always happy to discuss commissioning a new piece.
Campaign furniture was originally designed for expedition when transport was almost always a beast of burden. At one time lavish and heavy it was made for the officer or explorer who demanded luxury and comfort in the field.
Eventually campaign furniture became lightweight and portable, but the principles remained the same; attractive design wedded to functionality. The days of expeditions followed by caravan are long over but the romance of that type of travel is still very much alive. While most pieces in the collection can be easily carried by one person; others such as the Danziger desk can still be strapped to a camel's back if necessary.
