He was interested in the Arts and Crafts movement but joined this with the Modernist movement by adopting machine tooling and mass production techniques in his business. Russell was a member of the Utility Furniture Advisory Panel during World War II and involved with the 'Britain Can Make It' exhibition in 1946.

Article Abstract:

The office property market in some of the coastal cities in China is undergoing changes. New premises offer cheaper and better conditions for a company's office space. The full cost of moving, however, is not factored into the search for low rents. Changing locations involves fixing budgets, finding property, and working with suppliers to appease staff members.
