Ghurka Officer’s Field Set
Only three of these were ever made.
When Ghurka collaborated with Richard Wrightman on the Officer’s Field Set - for their 40th anniversary - we had the chance to visit his studio in Long Island City. Walking in felt like stepping into another universe.
Downstairs was the wood and leather shop. Upstairs, a space for shoots and gatherings. And tucked away was a magically curated area for thinking and ideating.
The brief sounded really simple on paper: design two folding chairs and a table compact enough to fit in the boot of a grand tourer.
The solution? A leather-clad trunk that housed the chairs and doubled as the table itself.
Only three Officer’s Field Sets were made. It debuted at Fortnum & Mason in London, and one was presented to Prince Charles in honor of his long association with the Royal Gurkha Rifles.
It featured a leather-lined trunk, folding field chairs, a whip-stitched merino wool blanket, leather cushions, and a field umbrella by Francesco Maglia Milano.
What stayed with us? The environment these were created in. Whether it’s travel goods or accessories, the goal is the same: build the conditions where good design can happen.
