American Industrial Designer, Russell Wright

It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, every piece of vintage furniture is worth a thousand words too and always has an interesting past and story to tell. A new shipment of vintage furniture has just arrived at Weisshouse and each piece is incredibly unique. One piece in particular, a small side table designed by Russell Wright is the focus of this blog.

From our website (www.weisshouse.com): Russel Wright (April 3, 1904 – December 21, 1976) was an American Industrial designer during the 20th century. Beginning in the late 1920s through the 1960s, Russel Wright created a succession of artistically distinctive and commercially successful items that helped bring modern design to the general public. Wright designed a succession of popular furniture lines for many furniture companies beginning in the early 1930s through the 1950s. His most popular line of essentially Art Deco American Modern “blonde” wooden furniture was produced by the Conant-Ball company of Gardner, Massachusetts between 1935 and 1939, and bore the branded mark “American Modern Built by Conant-Ball Co. Designed by Russel Wright.”
