FR Review:
Creating her own trends, Antonia Hutt continues to design rooms with distinct verve and personality. Hutt loves to juxtapose unique forms with classic architecture as their foil, and saturated colors play off the most chic tonal surfaces. An independent yet realistic thinker, Hutt develops a magical composite of the client's concept and her own original thought. Ideas tend to evolve in phases, as Hutt considers the interplay of day-to-day necessities and theatrical possibilities. Clients feel they have been educated by the process and rewarded by the result.

Hutt grew up in England and began her design education in silversmithing and then antiques. Moving to Los Angeles, she opened an antique shop on Melrose that showcased her years of European "furniture-picking" expertise. She also worked for Vincent Jacquard. Going to school in the evenings, she completed UCLA's four-year design course in two-and-a-half years (under the tutelage of Rose Tarlow). She founded her own office in 1992, whose staff of three is said to be highly organized and effective. Clients are most often actors, producers, writers, musicians and other creative souls, including Debra Messing, Courteney Cox, Sandra Bernhard and Sean Connery.

Reportedly never over budget, Hutt's plans are quite detailed. Either a flat design fee or a retainer is taken up front with a deductible against higher hourly fees. Standard product commissions are taken on purchases. Hutt is known to gravitate toward the "top end" but offers choices. Many clients become converts and friends. HB Top Designers, 2000, 2001, 2002.

Representative Client Comments:
"Antonia is smart and dedicated—she is on a mission to create something that sings." "She will only buy things that she loves and that really make a difference." "She can do the most robust colors or a toned-down version, but it always has a point of view." "Somehow she can make various centuries rest easily together, but at times you have to tell her no." "Antonia did an amazing job using what we already owned—she is a perfectionist and realistic at the same time." "Every piece is clean and vibrant, like gemstones in my house." "She marches to her own stylistic drummer." "She took my basic concept and turned it around brilliantly—I am amazed at the result." "A straight shooter." "She remembers every color she has ever seen and is a terrific problem solver." "A high-level performer and a real professional." "A Mondrian in a world of soft Impressionists."
