Noble Russell
About - Laurence
Laurence Noble's first design inspiration came from his grandma's Art Deco style house. This, in time, led to a design degree at Bournemouth & Poole College of Art and Design. His first commissions were for skateboard decks before moving on to more refined works such as a dining table for Saatchi and Saatchi. Following a few final formative years at Oakley Young, Laurence and good friend Jerry Russell set up Noble Russell in 1992. Laurence continues to be inspired by Art Deco with the addition of nature, architecture, human movement and the female body. Motivation also comes from the works of Ettore Sottsass, Isamu Noguchi and Henry Moore.
