One of the principle assets of Brett Payne’s approach to design
and making is his ability to synthesise such an ancient technique
with original and contemporary ideas of form. His understanding of
the importance of simplicity leads to a refreshingly direct and uncomplicated
way of making that produces contemporary classics
Brett Payne’s Classic Candlesticks are individually hot forged,
by hand, in Sterling Silver. They are designed for modern living -
visually stunning and disarmingly practical.
Brett Payne’s studio and workshop
