Studio Locher

Richard Paxton (1956-2006) studied at Kingston University, before working at Ahrends, Burton & Koralek, where he was involved in the design of the Cummins Diesel Factory in Scotland. In 1985 he established his own practice with his future wife, Heidi Locher, who had formerly worked for Terence Conran. The pair designed both the Soho Theatre and the Jerwood Space in Southwark and undertook domestic projects for both for themselves and for distinguished clients, including Douglas Adams and Griff Rhys Jones.

In 2006, Heidi Locher established her own practice called Studio Locher, characterised by the same clarity of vision and unwillingness to compromise for which Paxton Locher identified. More recently Studio Locher has been spinning worlds that take physical form in Architecture and Fine Art and through Factory Locher, Architectural furniture. The studio is Modernist in its world view and at it’s heart is a desire to communicate and stimulate.

The Modern House Says
"We’ve sold a number of Heidi Locher's residential projects over the years, and she brings an artistic sensibility to everything from architecture to product design."
