 Robert’s work tends to be contemporary in style yet traditional in construction. The focus is often the contrast between two (or more) woods or the interplay of positive and negative spaces, or both. His formal training was in the British Arts and Crafts tradition, so careful attention is given to the joinery, much of which is exposed and is often hand-cut. He has been strongly influenced by the work of C. R. Mackintosh. Recently Robert has been involved in reinterpreting the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. On the whole, his work reflects a concern for order and symmetry. While frequently using thinner pieces to create and articulate a grid-work of negative spaces, his furniture projects a quality of lightness and delicacy. He strives to create enduring pieces which are graceful, harmonious, and not intimidating. Classical proportions are frequently employed.
