CAMPAIGN DESK

Wood, Powder Coated Steel 

Growing up with an international nomadic lifestyle, I had to give up most of my possessions every time we left a country.  As an adult, I have always sought to rediscover those objects from my past.  While exploring the idea of furniture designed to easily move and travel with its owners I discovered the style of campaign furniture.  Inspired by the concept of the military-style portable desks used by generals and politicians throughout modern history, I gave the classic campaign desk a modern upgrade with this sleek design.  Pushing the boundaries of the way we interact with desks, I designed this desk to work with no handles, creating a smooth face; the drawers can only be opened with the Blackwood “key”.  The legs echo the forged iron features found in military design, while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic.   Command in style and keep your secrets safe in this luxurious modern take on a classic.
