At Old Hickory Furniture, we've been crafting iconic pieces that embody the spirit of American craftsmanship since the early 1900s. Today, we’re thrilled to announce a new chapter in our legacy with our first-ever furniture collection designed in collaboration with renowned interior designer and bestselling author, Max Humphrey.
Dubbed THE LODGE COLLECTION, this exclusive assortment is the first release in our ongoing collaboration with Max Humphrey. Inspired by the rugged beauty of the American West, the collection focuses on keystone pieces for the home that spotlight natural wood materials and classic American craftsmanship. Each piece is designed to reflect Max’s trademark playful style, with names like the "Don’t Feed The Bears" lounge chair, the "Sawing Logs" bed frame, and the "Root Beer Barrel" chair. These whimsical names embody the spirit of fun and adventure that define the collection.
This collaboration feels especially natural, as Old Hickory has long been known as “the furniture of the National Parks.” For over 117 years, we’ve partnered with landmark lodges to create furniture pieces that have become iconic in their own right. With our history deeply rooted in the American outdoors, teaming up with Max was a perfect fit. Humphrey's latest book LODGE: An Indoorsy Tour of America’s National Parks is his love letter to a slice of uniquely American style.
"I’ve been obsessed with Old Hickory Furniture since I did a deep dive into the brand for my first book, Modern Americana, and have included their pieces in my interior design projects—and my own home—ever since,” said Humphrey.
This longstanding admiration for our craftsmanship is exactly what made Max the perfect collaborator for this collection. His passion for rustic, lodge-inspired style perfectly complements our commitment to making pieces that are timeless, durable, and crafted with care. For Chad Galloway, CEO of Old Hickory, the collaboration with Max was a dream come true. "I’ve been a fan of Max Humphrey’s work for years, even before he published LODGE," said Chad. "His book captures the spirit of our National Parks Lodges so beautifully. Old Hickory has been a staple in these lodges for over a century, so it felt like a natural step for us to collaborate with Max to bring the essence of LODGE into homes across the country."
The Lodge Collection is a celebration of the “cowboy-core” revival, blending rugged wood detailing, customizable bark finishes, and a muted color palette to bring the timeless appeal of the Western aesthetic into modern homes. With heirloom-quality craftsmanship, each piece is handmade in the USA using classic woodworking techniques—just like the pieces Old Hickory has been creating for over a century.
We officially debuted The Lodge Collection at High Point Market on October 26th, 2024. This marks the beginning of an ongoing partnership between Old Hickory and Max Humphrey, and we can’t wait for you to experience these exceptional pieces firsthand. Whether you’re looking to add a touch of rustic elegance to your home or simply appreciate fine craftsmanship, the Lodge Collection is sure to make an impact.
