Wright 21

Commissioned


Contemporary Design

Wright 21 is committed to exploring contemporary design by commissioning works from established and emerging talents in the field of design.

Founded on the premise of increasing opportunities, Wright 21 is a platform for designers to realize works outside of the established manufacturers and to investigate ideas that challenge the standards of design. With passion, and more than 20 years experience documenting 20th century design, we aim to engage design culture by commissioning works from designers that defy expectations and present new perspectives in their fields. We provide both encouragement and resources as we work directly with designers and preferred vendors to realize unique and original designs of the highest quality.

Curated by Richard Wright, Wright 21 hosts annual exhibitions and maintains a presence within the Wright auction space in Chicago.

Since 2000, Wright has sold nearly 30,000 works of 20th and 21st century design.
