Russel Wright started his career designing theatrical sets. (It was through Maverick Theater that he met his future wife Mary Einstein.) A theatrical career, however, was demanding and soon Wright—at the urging of his wife—turned to designing objects. Among his earliest designs were objets d’art made after a series of large scale circus animals he had made for a production at Maverick. These early forms were popular and launched his industrial career.
