People / George Richardson
George Richardson is a designer, maker, and artist whose practice involves reinterpreting traditional techniques while exploring a material’s aesthetic and functional properties. The workshop, where he experiments and refines his work, is essential to his process. Based in London, his works range from furniture and sculptural objects to traditional timber framing.
Knuck Shelf
Maple (soft maple shelves, hard maple legs)
1050 x 375 x 866mm
Constructed from both soft and hard maple, the ‘Knuck Shelf’ follows a skeletal language established in Richardson’s work. The legs are turned on a lathe, with the original square profile preserved at specific joining points, aiding the joinery between the leg and shelf. This focus on the connection between components is celebrated and stands as a key stylistic element of the product.
