Knockdowned But Not Out

I have always had a fascination with campaign furniture, also known as knockdown furniture, furniture specifically designed to travel during military campaigns. The essence of campaign furniture lies in the inherent duality to be folded and portable yet be elegant and functional.  Traveling and living in tents did not deter the wealthy from continuing to reside in luxury.

This article briefly describes the knockdown furniture of the British campaigns:

Alas, our cardboard boxes as dining table and computer table lasted less than a week and an immediate trip to the Target store at the Atlantic Terminal Mall was in order.

With the echo of my new motto, Keep it Simple, Keep it Clean, thumping through my head, I seek out our own campaign furniture: affordable and portable, cheap and chic.

I return triumphant with two tables in tow and set up in a matter of minutes, assured we are Knockdowned but Not Out.
