A Lasting Legacy

Keith Grant talks about the considerable impact that Gordon Russell has had on the design world and how his lecture on the subject of crafts made to the Royal Society of Arts is still quoted today. He also describes the lasting impact he made by his work in establishing and then heading up the Design Council and creating high standards both for practitioners and for design education. Jeremy Myerson tells how Russell's prophesy about the correlation between hand and machine production has been brought into reality by digital manufacturing.
