Gordon Russell Ltd
by Pip on Wed Apr 15, 2009 9:05 am
We found a lovely Gordon Russell coffee table in a charity shop yesterday going for peanuts. Despite having a glut of coffee tables at the moment (we have a 'slick' of them in the bedroom!) we just couldn't leave it behind. We think it's made from yew wood - it has a wonderfully lustrous grain and dates to the late 1950s early 1960s.
Sir Gordon Russell was an illustrious designer working across many mediums but it was his fine furniture and his involvement in the post war utilitarian movement that he's probably best known for. There is a Gordon Russell museum based in the original, now listed, workshop with a great online resource too - click the link below

You're quite right Pip, a pic would just spoil us
