The Campaign Chair

Also known as a Roorkee Chair, this piece is part of the Campaign Furniture tradition, which embodies mobility, lightness, and durability. The Roorkee's only joinery is tapered tenons; the act of sitting in it reinforces its structure and tightens it together. The human body at rest is the final piece of this chair.

In the span of a few minutes, you can break the Roorkee down into a pack just thirty inches long, eight inches wide and eight inches high. Whether you take it to the campsite regularly and keep it in your car overnight in deep winter or leave it assembled in your living room year-round, this chair will last for a generation and continue to perform.

It can flex and adapt effortlessly to terrain of varying heights - the side of a hill, a beach with deep sand, a rocky desert campground. Leaning back in the chair results in a rotation of the back piece, with force being exerted toward the lumbar spine, an added physiological benefit.

The leather is premium English Bridle from one of America's oldest tanneries. It is hot-stuffed with tallow and waxes, making it durable and water-resistant.
