Room 62 Art Gallery

Ted Amell is an artist, designer, welder, and business owner from the South Shore of Massachusetts. He started his career traveling the world to build and repair machinery. After many years of this, he decided to delve into his passion for furniture making and opened his own business, Room 62. One day, he was commissioned to create a loft ladder. His design and execution were perfect, and it became his best-selling product.

Ted remembers watching a special interest piece on the Sunday morning news as a young boy. That day, they were interviewing a steel worker. He was amazed, and this memory stuck with him forever.

It wasn’t until recent years that Ted decided to focus more on his art. He struggled with angst for years, wondering if he could ever consider himself a “real” artist. But he learned that the more art he made, the more he felt confident enough to call himself a true artist. He fell in love with the process of making his art more than the actual outcome of it. His passion can be felt through all his sculptures, all created based on the values and morals he aligns himself with today. Most importantly, he’s living out his childhood dreams.

Ted Amell, founder of Room 62, started his career making and building furniture. After years of creating, he was commissioned to create a loft ladder one day. He had helped several customers by designing and building custom, sturdy, contemporary ladders. His design and execution were perfect, and it became his specialty, leading to the growth of Loft Living Room 62.

In his free time, Ted creates metal sculptures and furniture. Recently, he has opened a few galleries that host his sculptures.

When Ted was a (preadolescence) kid before 10, Sunday Morning showed a “special interest” portion saw and iron sculpture. I was amazed to see the steel worker on the island off the coast of New England. This stuck with him.

He was shown his process of steel bending to make sculptures. Ted was amazed, and the memory sticks with him to this day.
