Origami Dining Table

Anthony Dickens was born in Dorset in 1975. He studied Furniture and Related Product Design at Buckinghamshire and Chilterns University College, graduating in 1997. In 1998 he was part of the Mo-Billy exhibition held at the British Council in Milan. This week heralded the start of a partnership with JAM Design and Communications, where he was commissioned to work on clients including Audi and Vodafone. Anthony set up his own studio in 1998, working with clients such as Red Bull and Veuve Clicquot, who were keen to use innovative product design to promote their brands. He believes that product design communicates to its targeted audience more effectively than traditional passive advertising. Anthony is a founding partner of the collaborative agency and network Together Creative. It brings together creative individuals who each excel in their disciplines to create a flexible working approach to develop innovative brand communication solutions. Over the past two years Anthony has broadened his approach to explore domestic product and furniture design. He launched the Origami table range, winning a design bursary from Liberty and an Elle Decoration Award. His “Fifty” lights have launched with Anglepoise marking a new direction for the 152 year old company and his Around About clocks have just launched with Lexon at Maison+Objet 08. New products and production partners are to be announced later in 2008.
