Richard Kell’s early formation into life as a craftsman began at home in his father’s workshop where he would read magazines on woodworking and model engineering.
The way in which Kell consciously chooses different types of wood for the outer box and the inner layers add to the modest elegance he is known for and prove an exciting discovery for the user.
The 2000s saw Kell receive numerous important commissions including a group of six kinetic sculptures for David Linley’s showroom in London in 2001, and a sundial for the Crathes Estate in Aberdeenshire in 2005. His work, and in particular his earlier pieces, are highly coveted today and testify to the successful career that lay before him.
