About Richard Wrightman

Capturing the spirit of history mixed with invention, Richard Wrightman’s collection of campaign-style furniture is influenced by Danish Modern as much as it is by British colonial style.

In 2021 Wrightman moved his home and furniture workshop from NYC to Litchfield County, Connecticut. His new studio is located on the Farmington River in New Hartford. He continues the tradition of making beautiful furniture by hand with some of his original NYC team and new members.
