When Gordon was twelve years old his father bought the Lygon Arms Inn in Broadway Worcestershire and the family moved again to live in the hotel. Gordon went to the Grammar School at the nearby village at Chipping Campden. He came under the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement from 1904 after his father had moved to Broadway in the Cotswolds to be hotelier at the Lygon Arms, through the Guild of Handicraft, the community of metalworkers, enamellers, wood carvers, furniture makers, and printers brought in 1902 by C. Ashbee from east London to Chipping Campden. Following service as an officer in World War I, for which he was awarded the Military Cross in 1918, he became a furniture maker and designer. He designed the “Stow” range of furniture in the mid 1920s. During World War II he was instrumental in developing utility furniture as Chairman of the government’s Utility Furniture Design Panel. In 1943 he became Chairman of the Utility Design Panel. [8] In 1947 Russell became director of the Council of Industrial Design (COID) (later renamed the Design Council). He became the first chairman of the Crafts Council. Notable designs by Russell include chairs for the re-built Coventry Cathedral. His brother Richard Drew Russell was also a designer. He was awarded a knighthood in 1955 for services to design. In 1968 he published his autobiography, Designer’s Trade.
