Anthony Dickens has been running his London-based product and furniture design studio for eleven years.

The essence of Anthony's design is driven by a desire to create simple yet functionally innovative and thought-provoking objects. He discovers new ways to express traditionally designed objects, subverting archetypal forms and re-imagining the everyday things that surround us.

For example, creating a clock that expresses time in a more natural and representative way by displaying it in a linear fashion rather than a circular motion, or updating an Anglepoise task light to reflect today’s way of working on illuminated computer screens.

He divides his output between domestic and commercial product design.

Domestic products include the ‘Origami’ table range (Elle Decoration Award for best table), the Anglepoise ‘Fifty’ light (shortlisted for the Design Museum’s Brit Insurance Product of the Year) and the recently-launched ‘Around’ clock for Lexon.

Alice Walker has joined Anthony as Creative Director to develop the studio and increase its design capacity. Inspired by the manufacturing process and innovation with materials, Alice worked with Tom Dixon and Design Research Ltd for four years. Here she designed for the Tom Dixon and Artek brands. In 2008 she joined Forpeople where she developed her skills to include service, experience and industrial design. Anthony and Alice complement each other in creating products that are simple functional, innovative and thought provoking.
