Thomas Jayne Studio is made up of a group of designers who share a distinct perspective on design. That point of view focuses on the idea that possessing an understanding of the history of the decorative arts and architecture can provide insight into current ideals of decoration. It also serves as a springboard for new decoration, in which traditional and classic tenets can be seen and utilized in new ways. Hence, the Studio’s designers take inspiration from the past, but seek new meaning and relevancy in it. The rooms they create are grounded in tradition but feel original and modern in their outlook. The Studio’s projects are overseen by individuals in an atmosphere that promotes collaboration and input. Personal development is key. The designers are encouraged to pursue programs of study, especially those offered by museums and historic trusts, and to take advantage of the Studio’s extensive design library and access to historic resources. This continued exposure to traditional forms and models has served to strengthen and enrich the work of the Studio. First established in 1990, the Studio has become known since for its expertise in several areas – historical research; presenting collections; architectural planning and detailing; and color consultation. It is also currently developing relationships with several furniture and home accessories manufacturers to create furnishings for the home that reflect Thomas Jayne Studio’s approach to decoration.
