Anthony Guerrée is a French designer, born in Normandy in 1987. He lives and works in Paris. As a designer, he has always worked closely with artisans, exploring high-quality craftsmanships and the history of French decorative arts. Each product of Anthony Guerrée is functional with a bold, sculptural form and meticulous detailing.
Anthony Guerrée was educated at the ÉCOLE BOULLE in Paris, where —since its foundation in 1886—young talents are schooled in the fine and applied arts, and where craftmanship plays a central role. Fascinated by the interior designers of the ‘30s, Anthony joined STUDIO ANDRÉE PUTMAN, in 2010, where he was able to work with the best ‘makers’ in the world in shaping world-class interiors. In 2015, Anthony went to work for designer Christophe Delcourt, assisting him in designing his DELCOURT COLLECTION furniture, as well as contributing to Christophe’s collaborations with French and international brands.
In 2020, Anthony Guerrée ventured out on his own and developed a unique signature, inspired by his travels, personal interactions and literary encounters. His first furniture collection « Chairs of lost time » was inspired by Marcel Proust’s novel À la recherche du temps perdu. Each of the sculptural chairs embodies the character of one of the protagonists. With this manifesto project, Anthony Guerrée gives his design vision: “I love to design a collection of furniture as one that tells a story, because each design has to be more than simply functional” In 2022, one of his chairs the “Verdurin” screen-chair, enters the collections of MOBILIER NATIONAL. A few months later, he received the “French Design 100” prize at Palais de l’Élysée from the Presidency of French Republic.
Anthony Guerrée collaborates with numerous French and international brands or galleries with strong influence in the field of furniture and lifestyle such as LINTELOO (NL), PHILIPPE HUREL (FR), NOSTEN ARGENTINA (AR), KANN DESIGN (FR), HABITAT (FR) M EDITIONS (FR), A&B LIVING (IT), ATELIER DE TROUPE (US), PRADIER-JEAUNEAU (FR) or DE LA ESPADA (PT) wich offer him an international visibility.
