Atlantic DESIGN Studio...is a DESIGN brand set up by myself, Lou Gillett, primarily through my love of contemporary design, drawing and making.  My background as a designer and architect for over three decades has naturally led to experimentation with new ideas, materials, forms and textures.

Over 20 years ago, whilst working as an architect in London,  I took night school classes to gain the skills to create my own bespoke jewellery.  This is where my love of making silver really began and am still fascinated by the many different design philosophies, from clean sharp lines to free-flowing organic forms; all from the potential of a single material and often using ancient techniques.  From a small child I loved delving into a jewellery box, in teenage years I spent all my hard earned Saturday cash on the marvellous 80's loud statement jewellery so looking back it's no surprise that my specialist area of work is sculptural stylistic jewellery.

I am best known for my bold statement  pieces that stand out because they are different, highly reflective and often inspired by my two passions; architecture and nature.  I am a firm believer that statement pieces can be worn both day and night time and can give immense pleasure to all those that wear them. 

Atlantic DESIGN Studio is not just about jewellery but DESIGN of all types. All my life I have sketched, illustrated and painted;  from childhood, throughout my architectural career through to the present day. Drawing is not only a powerful communication tool but a way to express what you see and feel.  I now produce original art, framed prints and greeting cards to buy as well as one off 3D wall art. I am always working on new collections for both art and jewellery and like architecture, the next project and creation is always exciting. All new ranges are launched through this website and my social media channels so do sign up to my newsletter, or follow me for special offers or news of our pop-up shops. Feel free to contact me to discuss 'bespoke commissions' and collaborative projects. I am always up for a design challenge of any sort. 

Thanks for visiting my website, I hope you find it interesting.
