Campaign Tables Lead the Charge for Chic

French effort tables, using their slender lines and accordion-style bases, have such an air of romance and adventure about them. Also known as gueridons, they were originally used during military operations because they were really simple to transport. Nowadays you are more likely to see them in the house than on the battlefield — their slim profile, ageless form and portability set them one of the most versatile of design classics.
