The name Russel Wright might not mean much to you, but he’s actually one of the most influential American designers of the 20th century – and a man credited for bringing modernism to the American home in the 1930s.
Originals from the 1930s are both scarce and expensive, so it’s just as well that Russel Wright Studios and HK Designs have reissued these spun-metal pieces, all completely faithful to the originals, with just the HK and Russel Wright marks on the bottom as additions.
There’s a range of stylish items, all available in aluminium, copper and steel and well worth checking out on the website. But if you want something that isn’t going to cost a fortune, check out the tumblers above, designed in 1932, great for long drink or cocktail and priced between $30 and $40 (£15 and £20) each.
