Gus\* worked in conjunction with the Spanner family to bring the design back to life and to ensure it would meet the designer’s original specifications. “Russell Spanner has never received the widespread recognition that he deserves for his work, primarily because his designs were only available for a brief period of time in the 1950s”, said Matt Parass, president of Gus\* Design Group. “He was ahead of his time – experimenting with innovative materials and designing furniture for smaller, open-plan homes which were being built in postwar cities. We’re extremely proud to be working with his family to shed light on his legacy and offer his designs to a new generation.” Via our friends at [Canadian Interiors](http://www.canadianinteriors.com/).
