Old Hickory by Russel Wright: The American Craft Collection. coming fall 2025.

Old Hickory Furniture and Manitoga / The Russel Wright Design Center proudly introduce Old Hickory by Russel Wright: The American Craft Collection, a new line inspired by pioneering American designer Russel Wright. The collection reimagines Wright’s historic influence while adapting his vision for modern living.

The partnership revisits Old Hickory’s original collaboration with Wright, one of the most influential designers of the 20th century. In 1941, Wright created the American Way Collection for Old Hickory, a groundbreaking line that embraced Modernism with simplified silhouettes, rustic warmth, and a new light tawny finish—an innovation still in production today.

“Russel Wright’s work helped shape the direction of American design, and his collaboration with Old Hickory remains a defining chapter in our history,” said Beau Parsons, CEO of Old Hickory Furniture. “By reintroducing his vision in partnership with Manitoga, we can honor Wright’s enduring legacy while supporting the nonprofit’s mission to preserve his home, studio, and landscape as a vital cultural resource.”
