I was asked in early summer of 2013 by Chewton Glen Hotel to create two pairs of gates for their newly built walled kitchen garden, it is a functional kitchen garden but also a beautiful place to hold weddings and events. I worked in collaboration with Copper Artist Steve Myburgh to create these unique and beautiful entrance ways.
This balcony was commissioned by a private client to compliment their new luxury extension and make a feature of the French window in their new bedroom. The clean lines are lifted by the purposefully bold construction methods, finished in a weathered zinc, in time it will match the zinc roof of the build.
The unique balustrade was commissioned by a private client for their barn conversion in the South Downs. Each baluster is individually forged from a solid bar, they gently curve in both directions and no two are the same.
The frame of this unique table is forged from steel on an industrial scale, the two separate halves are joined in the middle by Richard’s signature wedge joint, together they only support the surface from one side. The wedges themselves are polished forged titanium, given a natural blue finish they are both stunning and functional. Topped with a substantial piece of glass, the Round Table gives a sense of substance and shows off the versatile strength of the steel.
Forged steel, titanium and copper, glass.

This bench was partly inspired by the pioneering bridges of the Victorian era; it is only supported at one end, so at the other end you are suspended above the floor.
“This piece is a testament to the materials I choose to work in, showing their versatility and strength.”
