Britain's What's On Event Guide
Gordon Russell Design Museum
Heritage Open Day: Explore the fascinating story of twentieth century furniture design through the life and work of Sir Gordon Russell (1892-1980) and his company. The museum celebrates a design pioneer, whose work marked the transition from hand to machine production. Drawing on the rich Arts and Crafts heritage of the area, Gordon Russell applied the principles of craft furniture to mass production, with the aim of making good design affordable, and accessible to all. It was this ability to embrace new ideas that ensured the company remained at the forefront of British design, working with many of the leading national and international designers of the day, and a team of over 250 skilled craftsmen and women in the Cotswold village of Broadway.
