Crossword Genius

A phone that is right for artist's studio (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atelier

'artist's studio' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a phone that is right' is the wordplay.
'phone' becomes 'tel'.
'that is' becomes 'ie' ('i.e.' can be a synonym of 'that is').
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'a'+'tel'+'ie'+'r'='ATELIER'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for atelier that I've seen before include "Artist's studio (French)" , "room for artist" , "Artist's workshop, studio" , "I relate to workshop used by artist" , "Tie earl up in the artist's place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
