A
Fellow of both the Chartered Society of Designers and
the British Interior Design Association, Anthony Paine
is renowned for using classical architecture in a contemporary
context. Coming from a successful building family, he
was expected to take over the family firm, but after
training in building he switched to surveying, and finally
to interior design, setting up his own design practice
in London at the young age of 27.
Anthony’s
unusual background in construction and design triggered
a passion for classical and vernacular architecture
which has characterised his work for the past 35 years.
Elected to The Art Workers Guild in 1990 when his Rotunda
Bookroom won The World of Interiors award at the British
Interior Design Exhibition, Anthony served as Honorary
Secretary of the Guild from 1993 – 2004.
As
well as designing, remodelling and extending private
residences, Anthony’s work has included a hotel
in Frankfurt, an extended farmhouse complex in Provence,
Georgian shops in Spitalfields, a new traditional chalet
in Gstaad, and a folly beside the Baltic. On international
projects, Anthony’s focus is on the conceptual
design, using local architects to project-manage while
he maintains close scrutiny and control of the building
process and implementation of his work.
He
is also known for his work for the bespoke tailors,
Gieves & Hawkes. In 1994, he re-designed their flagship
store in Savile Row with such success that he went on
to design over 100 stores throughout the UK and worldwide
including Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and Taipei. The
ongoing commission included the design of a range of
furniture and a set of illustrations for the company.
With
his studio now based in a fine regency house in Bath,
Anthony’s current projects include the design
of a new private palace in Morocco and a new lakeside
classical villa in Bavaria. His practice is intentionally
small, with clients benefitting from his exclusive attention
to detailed design. His elegant buildings and interiors
appeal to clients at the very top of the market who
are looking for dynamic planning, wit and fine detailing.
