Our story began in the foothills of Joshua Tree National Park, at a restored mid-century home on three acres where the West is still unfinished.
Down the hill, Palm Springs took that same wide light and refined it into clean lines and glass. Frontier Modernism sits between the two: the frontier's rawness, the modernist's discipline.
The inspiration was every season across the American West.
Traveling the American West with familyIdea to execution is a hundred small bridges.
We grew up in the Pacific Northwest and lost track of each other for a few decades. In the summer of 2018, we found each other again at the Salmon Bake in Browns Point, Washington.
That same summer came the ranch: a mid-century house on three acres in Twentynine Palms that we restored together.
In 2020, he asked at the top of a run at Deer Valley.
Ghost Town Ranch grew out of that work, and out of a life spent on the road across the West. It's for anyone who would rather be out there too.
Desert heat. Mountain snow. Salt air off the Sound. Weather that asks something of every surface it touches. Nothing lasts out here that isn't worth keeping. No ornament, no pretense, no filler.
From the Pacific Northwest to the Arizona desert, Utah's mountains to Montana's open range, Ghost Town Ranch takes its cues from the places where the West is still unfinished. The Frontier Modernism at the root of the brand isn't a style. It's a standard.
From the wide open. For every day.
Everything on the ranch, ours or found along the way, has to pass the same six marks.
Every piece comes from whoever does that one thing best: certified labs for skin, a candle maker for wax, horn workers in England.
It comes from somewhere real and carries a little of it home. We document. We don't invent.
Not on every shelf or every feed. If we've seen it everywhere, it doesn't come to the ranch.
It does the job every day, then holds its own on the counter.
Horn, linen, cane, glass, wax. Materials that get better with weather and use.
Unisex, everyday, nothing saved for a special occasion.
