Profile
Anthony Dickens
Born in Dorset, England, in 1975, Anthony Dickens founded his first design studio in 1998 to create objects that express simple narratives and reimagine the everyday items that surround us.
His design philosophy emphasizes simplicity and functionality, often drawing inspiration from natural elements and traditional craftsmanship. His acclaimed Tekiò collection for Santa & Cole beautifully captures this ethos, featuring timeless linear and circular forms that emit a warm glow reminiscent of traditional Japanese lanterns.
In 2015, Anthony founded Studio Make Believe in London, where he continues to work today. He collaborates with designers, makers, product developers, and brand strategists to create innovative solutions for global brands. He won the 2018 ADI-FAD Golden Delta Award for Best Interior Lighting Product and has been featured in publications, galleries, and museums worldwide.
About Santa & Cole
Santa & Cole was established in 1985 as a small, independent firm dedicated to editing and publishing design objects for use in both private and public spaces. Located in Barcelona, Spain, they produce designs in collaboration with their extensive network of local suppliers and global partners, including those in Japan, where the washi paper for the Tekiò lighting collection is produced.
Following a decade of upheaval caused by a dictatorship, founders Nina Masó, Javier Nieto Santa, and Gabriel Ordeig began creating exceptional lighting for some of Barcelona's most famous bars. They advocated for the use of natural materials such as wood, stitched cardboard, and ribbons. The classic Básica lamp was developed during this time, shifting the aesthetic from the technical and cold materials of the era to a warmer, more human aesthetic.
Today, Santa & Cole continues its quest to enhance and enrich people's lives through designs that have become iconic while remaining accessible to all. Committed to this mission, the company looks to history to inform its future, approaching its design practice with a modern sensibility and a desire for human connection.
