Rupert often favours an angular, linear approach, veering from more organic forms. The origins of his designs are not immediately apparent and the work he produces is a striking mixture of sharp, clean lines and contemporary edginess, combined with the traditional fluidity of beautifully crafted wood.

His joy of creating furniture clearly comes not just from making but from the whole process of working with clients to produce economical designs that fulfil their function - whilst being timeless and able to sustain their appeal through changing fashions.
