A practicing craftsman of over thirty years, Richard personifies the modern concept of the ‘designer/maker’. His work combines a sensitivity to design, proportion and detail, with a refined appreciation of beautiful natural materials and the deep satisfaction that is to be had in the workmanship of a Master Craftsman.
Richard works with his team and his tools in a traditional manner. Simple machinery is used where it replaces manual labour time, not human skill. There is no automation, but a prevalence of hand skills, and so it is the ingenuity and hand-print of the craftsman that is evident in the finished result.
Richard Williams has created a collection of furniture pieces and smaller items that are available to purchase. Each piece embodies the same attention to fine detail and extraordinary workmanship as the commissioned pieces that leave the workshop, while being available to view here and ready to purchase with a short lead time.
